    They’re right.

    There are still loads of ‘Don’t Knows’ in the polls. The Don’t Knows lean Conservative, when pushed. Most of them say they will definitely or probably vote. If many of them do go back to the Tories, Labour’s lead will evaporate.

    That’s why we cannot assume Labour will coast to victory.

    Modern conservative governance, not just in the UK, has failed to address the significant social, ecological, and economic changes facing our global society.

    Unfortunately, despite these shortcomings, the fear of change and a reluctance to embrace progress ensure that conservatives won’t easily lose elections. It’s a recurring pattern seen not only in the UK but also mirrored globally. The past 13+ years of Tory rule highlight the challenges of an electorate that seems somewhat ignorant and self-centered.
