What will Conservative MPs do after the May local elections ? With no sign at all that the Polls are going to narrow, its inevitable that the Tories are heading for disaster at next months local elections. Latest Poll is by Deltapoll (published 3rd April) LAB 48 - CON 27 - LD 09 - REF 05 - GRN 04 Will the Conservative Party descend into in-fighting, will there be calls for a change in direction, could there be a sharpening of knives to stab Rishi Sunak in the back. Will more "Red Wall" MPs announce their retirement at the next general election, could some Tory MPs cross the floor of the house. Panic will surely set in if polling figures are somwhere near correct, and the Tories suffer a humiliating result with the next election getting closer and closer. I imagine the Conservative MPs will say well, it is only the local elections and to quote Harold Wilson, if a week is a long time in politics, then the 21 months until the important ones in January 2025 is pretty much forever. deleted |

It's unfortunate that too many people regard local elections rather as a referendum on the national government than a vote concerning local issues. Local elections are a farce where an elected member will get between 10 and 15% of the eligible vote. |

Some people do vote on local issues only not national, trouble is so many people don't bother to vote so they only know the opinions of those that do vote not the rest of those who don't bother, I have little faith in the Politicians on offer these day be it at local level or GE. |
