Tory pair aim to attract 'politically homeless' with new movement

"politically homeless"

"So we want to step forward with a national movement, grassroots movement, to get out there, talking to voters, and particularly to businesses, to bring forward ideas, where the tip of the spear is very much around the economy and the bread and butter issues about making people feel better off in this country."

"the forces of populism on the left and the right are rampant across the western world"

Sir Andy Street and Baroness Ruth Davidson are launching a national grassroots movement to attract millions of centrist and centre-right voters who feel politically homeless. The initiative will engage those voters and work with them to develop Conservative Party policies on tax, housing, infrastructure and business investment. The movement prioritizes the economy and everyday issues to make people feel better off. The organisers express faith in Kemi Badenoch's leadership and want her as prime minister. The project aims to recover moderate voters lost in the 2024 general election and counter rising populist forces and Reform UK challenges.
