The Conservatives seem to be chasing the Reform vote with populist right wing policies rather than realigning with the centre ground. Extreme left and right policies don't tend to do well with the electorate.
My question is, on the assumption the Conservatives are defeated at the next election, will they take the path back to the centre-right or will they double down on the crazy? There are people within the party who subscribe to the Liz Truss way of thinking... yes our policy failed, but that's because it wasn't extreme enough, we need to be more extreme next time to make it work!
