Description
The 2024
general election produced the worst defeat in the Conservative Party's history.
Five years after winning a commanding majority, the Tories lost half their vote
and two thirds of their seats in parliament.
In Losing
It Michael Ashcroft examines the seismic result and its causes. Drawing on
extensive polling and analysis - as well as conversations with voters across
the country, who describe in their own words how the Tories squandered not just
the election but their reputation for competent government - this is a
pitiless account of how the Conservative Party came to be seen by those who
elected it to office.
Before the
Tories can begin any kind of recovery, they need to understand and accept what
happened and why. This book sets out the reasons in uncompromising terms.
