The Tories are in a different world to voters

As the champagne flowed down the gullets of the Tory activists gathered in Birmingham chipper, jolly, upbeat after the worst electoral defeat in their party’s history there was an incongruity with what had been in July .

The Tories seemed buoyed, animated by the prospect of opposition, something articulated by Kemi Badenoch in her conference address.

Part of it reflects the difference in the psychology of the two great parties: one a nervous wreck for much of its history, the other a largely unreflective election-winning machine.

Conservatives think voters are more statist and interventionist than they might ever like to admit.

There is cultural conservatism but there is little interest in the online rabbit holes, conspiracy theories and culture wars now normalised within conservative politics.

In their misunderstanding, a significant chunk of the Tory party now resembles the Labour left.
