Janet Wilkinson, a long-time Conservative member, expressed her disillusionment, stating, "We've had so much trauma over the last few years. With all the leader replacements and everything, I have become a bit disillusioned... it’s become laughable for a lot of people." This sentiment reflects the internal struggles within the party, where frequent leadership changes have led to frustration amongst its members.
Council leader Wayne Fitzgerald acknowledged the challenges facing the party: "It's been so slim between two capable candidates like Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick. We need someone who can rally the party and regain the trust we have lost with the electorate, especially after breaking promises while governing." This highlights the shifting dynamics within the party and the urgency to unify before the next elections.
