How the ‘Surrey shufflers’ could impact the next general election
Story by Dominic Penna • Yesterday 11:45
The Liberal Democrats hope to unseat high-profile Conservative ministers including Jeremy Hunt and Michael Gove at the next election by targeting a group of voters they have dubbed “Surrey shufflers”.
Ground teams stationed across the South West by Sir Ed Davey’s party have zoned in on the thousands of families moving to the Home Counties after the pandemic. They see them as key to future battles in the Blue Wall of traditional Tory seats.
The party has defined Surrey shufflers as young professionals who moved to London for work in their 20s but have since moved to Surrey, Hertfordshire, Hampshire or Berkshire to buy their first house and start a family.
The Telegraph understands that May’s local elections represent a “dry run” for the party’s new strategy, with some 36 council elections scheduled to take place across the four counties.
These include polls in Waverley – situated in Mr Hunt’s Farnham constituency – plus Elmbridge, which covers Dominic Raab’s seat of Esher and Walton, and Surrey Heath, represented at national level by Mr Gove.
Also in play is Welwyn Hatfield, for which Grant Shapps, the Business Secretary, is the MP, and the borough council of Spelthorne. That is represented at a national level by Kwasi Kwarteng, the former chancellor who oversaw the mini-Budget.

If the Tories in those seats really are in the majority they have nothing to fear.
This is just trying to organise tactical voting, something that has a relatively poor track record of being organised. Nothing wrong with it morally but as the 2019 election showed, it's only electoral pacts that produce results in FPTP elections.

Like I have stated neither the libs or labour will get in under merit....It will because the Tories lost and nothing more.....The tories are already getting shot of the traitors amongst their midst....There maybe hope for them yet. |

The Tories are done for at least the next two elections.
You can feel it in the media, nobody even attempts to correct people when they spout the common lies (eg £37b spent on test and trace, Hancock landlord story, Tory austerity, nurses haven't had a pay rise in 12 years etc).
You can basically ring a talk show and just make shit up about the Tories and it will go unchallenged because they have reached the point of no return so it's not worth the flack of trying to defend them on anything.
Depressingly Starmer thinks he is winning people over, instead of winning by default, so he won't be making the changes the country needs.

It is illegal to vote for anyone other than the Tories in most of Hertfordshire. And if you did the Returning Officer would think that you had made a mistake and quietly move your ballot paper to the Conservative candidate's pile.
It has to be said that Starmer could bore for Britain, but he is a good Tory and will do until someone better turns up

Starmer the pro european who was that much a europhile he was willing to voerthrow a democratic mandate from a referendum between 2016 and 2019? He will do?
