I can't see that result or the polls remaining at that level.

Then again Braverman did say if things stay as they are then the Cons would be lucky to have any seats in an election.
I still doubt a result like that in that polling though.

I've been out canvassing but not in a strong way.
However and this is no way scientific or likely a universal trend.
I was talking to 5 people in depth today.
In a street I know from past canvassing was usually solid Con.
3 were Sisters in the same house, then 2 others in said street.
All usually vote Conservative.
None will be this time.

The 3 Sisters are going Lib Dem., I of the others to Labour and the other not sure yet but not Conservative.
They've stopped listening to Sunak.
They don't like him and don't trust him.
They think Starmer boring.

However while not now voting Conservative, none of them care who gets in to government in this election as long as it's not Sunak and the Conservatives.

Their votes will be going not FOR the other Parties they will be voting for because they really like them but because they will be just solidly voting against Sunak and the Conservatives.

I found the discussion really interesting.
The 3 Sisters had voted for the Conservative party since 1979.
Now definitely will not be.
