The Torys will never gain large majorities in the future, they will loose far more minority seats than they win due to tactical voting, tactical voting is here to stay, imagine the Torys will argue to pass laws to stop online sites from advising people on who to vote to keep the Torys out but that's not going to stop it.
I think the Torys just went too far this time, they've been a education for millions that will stay with them for life.
The Torys will be back but they will never be the force they were, this is not wishful thinking, I think people are overlooking something very important, what's happening today has never happened before, nobody thought the Torys were destroyed back in 97, comparing past election results and what happened in the following years isn't a guide to what will happen in the future. the fearmongering to scare people into not voting Labour has always been the biggest weapon in Tory election victory's, that has lost it's potency, the public have been educated, they know it's all about deflecting criticism away from the Torys, they know the Torys aren't a safe pair of hands with the economy, they know the Torys can't be trusted with our services, those beliefs will stay with millions for life just as they stay with the vast majority of posters on here.
i still don't believe the Torys understand just how much damage they've done to their party.
Labour will be able to act as a party of government for a while, but there will be the ever existing undercurrent that Labour aren't left wing enough for the purists. They'll mock a Labour government as being no better than Tories, and push for policies that have no effect other than to show how pure they are. They'll win enough support to push the narrative that the Labour government has run out of steam, and the country will revert back to voting Tory. And 10 years of Labour government will be followed by 15 years of Tory government.
