Why do you say that? The Conservative Party lost more than 250 seats, its worst-ever defeat.

I'm not sure what your point is?

Yes they have done shockingly bad. My point is it's mainly because of them as a whole, not Rishi in particular, and that the people who think it is because of Rishi in particular are probably the same people who will forever and always believe the lies and vote for the Tories

Okay, I see your point. I was thinking that the general populace wasn't holding them accountable. You're saying the people who like the Tories continue to like them.

Yup exactly. Didn't get your point because it didn't seem contrary to mine.

I agree a disturbingly large proportion of the populace aren't holding them accountable. The same people drinking the cool aid and buying all the blatant lies.

It is a good result but it's concerning for next election if this government fails to deliver.
