The local elections tomorrow are a huge challenge for the Conservatives as they hope to steer clear of a total washout in support.
They don’t want to end up at the mercy of Farage if he gets a landslide for his slate of candidates, sees an opportunity for increasing a Westminster seat share, and hammers them later.
They don’t have a strong local support base at present, either, unlike Labour or Reform UK. Both have made efforts to keep a close appeal to issues that matter in Council areas across the UK.
It’s hard not to notice that anything touching on community concerns is right at the top of many people’s priority list.
Also, they only have a national appeal due to time they’ve spent in the Commons keeping the Opposition argument alive.
They struggle to stay afloat in a rowdy Parliament. Albeit Prime Minister’s Questions has gone well on balance, Labour are having a much easier time of it.
