In a stark admission, Tory pollster Rachel Wolf stated, "We absolutely deserved to get thrashed. Without change, we deserve to be consigned to oblivion." This highlights the party's awareness of its failings and the urgent need for reform.
Katie Lam's remark underscores the Conservative Party's vulnerability: "We have no divine right to exist." This reflects a significant shift in the party's perception of its place in British politics, emphasizing the necessity for adaptation and growth.
