Tory Death Spiral

Are you really concerned?

I'm very happy to see the Tory Party in chaos. The more mischief he makes, the better.

Labour party is equally in chaos. As much as it pains me to say it, there are times when we actually need functional government AND functional opposition. Now would be one of them

We need a functioning left-wing government. A divided Tory Party and deselection and the threat of deselection in Labour make that more possible.
 
I thought the boundary review was dead in the water, given May’s slender majority and likely dissent from enough tories at the threat of losing their perch?

It’s a total stitch-up anyway as they’ve based it on registered voters rather than the population of places, so the sort of places where a lot of people don’t register (or places with big transient or immigrant populations) get underrepresented, coincidentally the kind of place where people tick the Labour box on their polling slip.

(Probably a separate thread for this somewhere isn’t there?)

We have less than 200 days to sort out what our future relationship with our largest trading partners will look like post 2020. That is our most immediate need. Party political naval gazing and potential removal of those with relevant experience comes a poor second

That wasn't a labrador mate.

It was very deliberately done after a change in the rules which reduced the numbers of students registered to vote. And the numbers are based on those registered to vote in the 2010 general election, of whom many at what we might tactfully call the tory end of the spectrum will have since died of old age but will still be represented by the new boundaries, while many youths not represented by the new boundaries will have reached voting age.
