The Craggus: It’ll end small thanks to the quality (or lack thereof) of who actually broke through. If Labour follow through on lowering the voting age to 16, we’ll be set.

Just read a Telegraph op-ed claiming the Tories lost because they were too far left, and I have a feeling that is the narrative we will hear more of over the coming years.

Good. Let them dig themselves ever deeper into an unelectable niche.

I wish I shared your belief that being far right = unelectable

Agreed not entirely unelectable but I can’t see them getting anywhere even close to a parliamentary majority with a lurch to the right. Yesterday proved that and even with the Tories in utter disarray, Reform’s “breakthrough” was pitifully small.

It always starts small. I hope you are right but global tendencies are going in a very bad direction

It’ll end small thanks to the quality (or lack thereof) of who actually broke through. If Labour follow through on lowering the voting age to 16, we’ll be set.
