People haven’t had a chance to vote in a general election since the Boris Johnson stepping down event. I doubt they will make it in next year, I imagine it could be decimation for the Tories
Did they really think that Boris Johnson was making (or could make) things better ? He was already prime minister at that time.
Did things really change between then and now ?
They aren't voting for them. Only 43.6% are, but it's FPTP and they are not all voting for the same non-Tory.
This "everything is worse" feeling is not something that has any link to any political party.
If life is percieved to get worse under any party's reign, whether to Tories as is the case now, Labour if they were elected, or SNP or whatever, they will blame whoever is in charge at the moment.
It's happening now, it's happening with the Democrats in the US, with Liberals in Canada, and to a lesser extent, the ruling coalition in Germany with AfD getting a surge thanks to people just generally discontent with life.
How much of that is their fault is something up for debate. It's not 100% their fault, and it also isn't 100% not their fault either. The same reactionary thoughts that are coming now from this here are giving the Conservative party in Canada a resurgence. I have a feeling most of you don't like that, but it's the truth.
When people are thinking life is getting worse, they will vote in whoever is not part of the current leadership.
Clearly you are not from the UK, or you would not be saying this. Every single service in the UK has deteriorated badly under this government. I don't mean feels badly, it is statistically much worse. The UK has been subjected to a heist where they have stolen billions from us. Google Michelle Mone, Sunak's family gain when he "gave" new oil licenses, the peerage being sold, the Russian influence, and the list goes on and on.
