The state of UK politics is a many and varied thing right now, and more separated into camps than ever before. As the Labour party fight among themselves at the very top and a part of the way down, they leave an open gap for more jostling for position by the others.
The Liberal Democrats have got a chance at another Coalition Government, in my view, but maybe this is our only paradigm for them at present. As 2010 fades even more into the history books, they may want a larger slice of the pie, but how is this possible right now?
The Conservatives are more ready to return than the other parties, feeling weaker on the front benches because of a lack of support from behind. They need a comeback story, too, to put to bed the aspirations of the Labour party as they’re feeling emboldened right now.
Reform UK requires a mention due to their staggering gains in Wales and Scotland, but England is proving to be a tougher league of politics. They may want more, but their ‘newness’ against the experience of the Conservatives (now there’s a fright about) may keep them away from power a while longer.
