Conservative Party: the gloves are off, but it is not about Labour. It is Conservative against Real Conservative

Any hope of reconciliation is very much a lost cause. If anything, the fight goes on. This is not a fight that started with Boris Jonhson's premiership. This started a long time ago. It is an ongoing war for the soul of the Conservative Party fought by people who have very little in common. Listening to Edwina Currie, you can hear loud and clear an outspoken campaigner for globalisation and total rejection of nationalist values. She explicitly said that she despises anything labelled national or nationalism. Her hatred directed against Boris Johnson came up loud and clear. There is not one Conservative Party. There are several Conservative Parties with opposite ideas regarding national policies and foreign policies.

I reckon this conflict within the Conservative Party trumps everything else. In this war, there will be no prisoners. They sense that this battle must be fought even when the price of infighting is the loss of the next General Election. Such is the animosity that reigns supreme within the Conservative Party. They hate each other a lot more than they could possibly hate political opponents from outside the Conservative Party.

If the issue is infighting amongst the Parliamentary Conservative Party - namely between Members of Parliament - the paradox is that a catastrophic electoral defeat could be benefiticial for the Conservative Party. 

If the Conservative Party is defeated in two by-elections, what party line voters are against? Are they against the Conservative Party per say or are they against the fact that for many the Conservative Party is no longer Conservative? Are voters hungry for a real Conservative Party? This is why any victory for an alternative party should be brought into question. Moreover, these are by-elections. We know that by-elections can be seen as punishment, a way to push a political party to stick to its promises. Voters know that without or without this by-elections the Conservative Party will still be in power until 2024 and therefore they want to send a message to Rishi Sunak to force him to abandon 'non-Conservative policies'.

Anger is growing against Policing. Ordinary britons are angry because the government seems to have allowed protesters to get away with murder. Change in laws means that legal migrants have now the same status as illegal migrants. This is an absurdity because it goes against the official line about countering, stopping, illigal migration, and many are fuming about it. The Prime Minister said, stated, promised, that under his watch illegal migration would come to a halt. It has not. And on top of that, illegal migrants are allowed to stay in Britain and even given accommodation and welfare benefits.
