Conservatives Predicted to Face Historic Defeat in Next Election

Internal divisions and unsuccessful attempts to reset public perception could lead to the party's worst outcome, with as few as 130 seats.

Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives could face the worst outcome in the party’s history at the next election, potentially collapsing to as few as 130 seats, according to polling expert Sir John Curtice.
Divisions within the party over immigration, including opposition to the Prime Minister’s Rwanda Bill, are exacerbating the situation.
Despite multiple attempts to reset his premiership, Sunak's efforts have failed to improve the polls, with the Tories still polling at 26 per cent, and Labour enjoying a 17-point lead.
The public seems to have “stopped listening” to what the Tories have to say, and recent focus on immigration has not improved the situation.
Last week’s events, including the resignation of Robert Jenrick as immigration minister, have further cemented the perception of the Conservatives as a divided party.
