Until we understand just why the electorate is so sick of us, the chances of the Conservatives recovering any time soon are miniscule, however awful the election result.
We have a traditional compact with voters. They might suspect that we are self-promoting posh boys and money-grabbing wotsits, in politics for no good reasons. But if we are bstards, at least we have been competent bstards, ritually elected to clean up after Labour’s habitually profligate compassion. The last few years have ruined that. Without competency, we are just b*stards.
This quote right here shows that what voters suspect, is in fact true.
As for “Labour’s habitually profligate compassion”, oh no! Not compassion!

Might work in the US but in the UK all it’s done is piss everyone off. Mostly because the only people who actually subscribe to that kind of theory already voted for them anyway. They gained no one by doing this.
