The Conservative Party’s Perpetual Hallucinations: Can They Turn Their Fortunes Around Before it’s Too Late?

The Conservative Party of the United Kingdom faces criticism from its critics, who claim that the party is in a perpetual state of hallucination. Despite this, Liz Truss, whose short tenure had a negative impact on the economy, is promoting her book “Ten Years to Save the West” and considering another leadership bid. In her book, Truss blames the so-called deep state for hindering her economic growth plans, which included a controversial tax cut.

Currently, Rishi Sunak is struggling to gain support as the party’s leader, with only four out of ten voters from the 2019 election willing to support him. Upcoming local elections in May could further challenge his leadership as polls show a significant lead for the Labour Party. Many within the Conservative Party believe defeat is imminent and are already jockeying to lead the party in opposition.

Nigel Farage, a key figure in Brexit, continues to influence right-wing politics in the UK. Boris Johnson remains a divisive figure within the party and has criticized Sunak’s policies, indicating a deep divide within the party. Despite internal strife and challenges, conservatives continue to express support for Donald Trump’s former US president. Farage maintains strong ties with Trump and is a prominent voice on extreme right politics in UK.

The upcoming general election presents an uphill battle for Conservatives as many predict significant losses due to these factors.
