Next Conservative leader

If Labour were to campaign on electoral reform - and abolishing the HoL is at least one small step to this - I do wonder just how successful this would be at present. I say this because another part of our current situation is that: 1) voting percentage rise with age and so the issues parties campaign on are therefore targeted accordingly. 2) there is a tribal nature which I will speculate also increases with age and it is pretty clear the Conservatives gain the majority of their votes from the 60+ category. 3) And then the population of the UK is aging as life expectancy increases, at a greater level for higher income groups.

There are, however, indications that current 30s/40s are not drifting right to the Conservatives. After what I have witnessed in the last 13 years it is simply impossible that I will ever vote for them. Many feel similar. This trend is newer and may mean the Conservative party is in deep trouble in 10 or 20 years time.

There is an inherent age generalisation within my post, I know (and do apologise for but we are taking majority here), but you can examine the data and things such as voting percentage and particularly Conservative vote do indeed increase with age across the UK. Take this as a quick 2019 example (plus another quid to Zahari's company):

I also put forward that the UK, current parties, political system, population distribution, class system whatever you wish to nominate, is currently unsuited to any forward-looking reform-based government.

And, if so, this is why the decline of the UK appears unsolvable in the near future. And I include a new Labour Government in that. Even with a majority, I just am not sure they will be able to get much done, nor will be elected on any pledge to get much done. We've seen Starmer back out of PR already, for example. It's perceived as too high-risk, for reasons I suggest above.

Nice job.

No we wouldn't.
