Following Thursday’s General Election, the Tories suffered catastrophic losses.
The Conservatives lost 251 seats and from 372 seats ended up with just 121.
This marked their worst defeat in nearly two centuries, receiving the least amount of seats since 1832.
They also lose nearly half of its supporters nationwide, with national vote share at just 23.7 per cent (6.8 million votes).
At the same time, Reform UK have swept up a large amount of the lost Tory votes, securing over 4 million votes and five seats in Parliament.
At the same time, Labour won a larger share of the votes compared to 2019, but a smaller number of votes, with 9.7 million compared to 10.3 million.
These results show that the right vote was split in half, explaining why the Tories suffered such catastrophic losses.
Early on Friday morning, following the majority of seats being declared, Nigel Farage took to X and said: “Last night marks the end of the Conservative Party as we know it.”
Meanwhile a snap poll by Savanta suggested that 73 per cent of the public say the biggest factor behind Labour’s landslide victory was wanting the end of a Conservative government, rather than a desire for a Labour government.
With that in mind, do you think this is the end of the Tory party? Have your say.
