U.K.'s Theresa May On Track For The Worst General Election Result In Tory Party History

The new data, from Opinium, predicts the Brexit Party will earn more votes than the Labour Party and the Tories combined in the European elections

The same poll also found that 28% of voters would back Jeremy Corbyn's party in a General Election, ahead of Theresa May's Conservatives on 22% - with the Brexit Party in third with 21%

Daily Mail: Theresa May on track for the worst General Election result in Tory Party history - as Brexit Party is predicted to win more votes than Labour and Conservatives COMBINED in European elections, polls say

* The Brexit Party is slated to win 34% of the vote in upcoming European elections
* Labour is on 21% and the Tories are predicted to win just 11% of the vote
* The data, from Opinium, also puts Labour first on 28% for a General Election
* This is ahead of Conservatives on 22%, with the Brexit Party third on 21%
* A separate poll puts the Brexit Party ahead of the Tories in a general election
* ComRes survey puts Labour on 27%, Brexit Party on 20% and Tories on 19%
* This would be the worst result in history for the Conservative Party

The Brexit Party will earn more votes than Labour and the Conservatives combined in the European Parliament elections, and could even beat the Tories in a General election, two extraordinary polls revealed this morning.

In an Opinium poll in the Observer, focused on this month's European elections, Nigel Farage's new party is predicted to hoover up 34 per cent of the vote. The same poll gave Labour 21 per cent and put the Tories in a miserable fourth place with 11 per cent

But an even more extraordinary poll, commissioned by a Brexit Party donor and published in the Sunday Telegraph, said for the first time the Brexit Party would beat the Tories in a General Election.

The ComRes survey of voting intentions put Brexit on 21 per cent to the Conservatives' 20, which would see Farage's team win 49 seats, becoming the UK's second biggest party after Labour, with 137.

Conservative people will accept a conservative woman.

Conservative people will accept a conservative woman over a squishy man. The two Tory leaders after Thatcher were squishy.

Conservative people do not like a squishy woman. It doesn't matter that her parents were shopkeepers. That merely breaks the ice and piques interest. She has to stand up for and go through with conservative policies.

May is like Merkel. Soon to be put out to pasture for not being conservative.

WNU - I live in London and I have to say, your comment is 100% correct. As Farage has said, this is not even about Brexit anymore (despite his party being called The Brexit Party). It's about people being angry that the establishment has betrayed them, has lied to them and is refusing to implement the decision they (the people) voted for (i.e. Brexit).

And to the previous commentator: I agree with you on May, and I would add that it's in fact much worse. It's not just May who is not a conservative. The Conservative Party has (even before Brexit) ceased to be conservative.

There is no going back to "normal" now. The only question is: how far will the political system fracture, how fast, and who will benefit from it.
