We haven’t won an election since 1992, when we last put forward distinctive policies to the electorate. To win a British general election, a party must have a majority of seats in the House of Commons. We failed. You ‘modern’ Conservatives cannot escape the fact that 2010 was a dismal performance for the Conservative Party. The only reason we gained so many seats is because the Labour vote collapsed, allowing us to pick up seats on very small vote increases |
