what are the chances of a tory victory in the next english general election?

Answer 1

i dunno but u should consider eating all of the tory's

Answer 2

The Tories have a slim chance of getting in, what will stop the Tories is their insistence on having a diverse candidate selection instead of a traditional party line members. Twenty percent of the candidates will be gay and that is a dangerous percentage which will certainly stop me voting Tory. The good thing about the next election is the number of BNP and UKIP candidates that will take their seats in the new house of Parliament. I estimate between 50 to 60 this will be good for British politics and make the communists and Tories face up to what is happening within our society.

Answer 3

The Cameronians are leading in the polls by about 8 points at the moment but this would not be enough of a swing to secure them a victory at a general election.

Not sure how much the swing would need to be for the Tory party to win at an election. Think if you visit the BBC website you may be able to get more info on this, ie., how much swing required for an outright victory.

Answer 4

I'd like to say i hope so - not because i'm a tory or anything else but i really can't stand the current party in government, they have been there too long and have become quite cocky - like they will get elected no matter what as they have had noone to run up against. Its my hope that the tories will win, besides there green policies are very good and have a chance that they might work. Cameron might be a toad but i don't think that he will be a dishonest politician - can you really say that about the current labour party after scandal after scandel - its worse than the mid-nineties when the tories were in.

Answer 5

First of all it is a British general election, not an English one...

Secondly, I'd say the chances at about 3-2 against. They are leading in teh polls at the moment, but a lot of that is due to Tony Blair being so unpopular. Although Brown isn't as charimatic, I think Labour may see a boost in the polls after Blair goes. Also, with the way our electoral system works the Tories would need to beat Labour by about 11% to overturn their majority.

Possible, but not easy

Answer 6

While the Tories are ahead in the current polls, due to the UK electoral system its not a good enough lead to win the next election, although they would have the majority of votes they would not gain enough seats to form the next government. Unless, of course, they do a deal with the Liberal Democrats, or, unlikely as it may seem, New Labour - their ideological brothers and sisters in arms.

Answer 7

I think the country will turn blue this time and not red. It will be a big victory for the Tories. But whoever gets in will have a big task on their hands to try and sort out the big mess and s@it hole we are in now. It will be the same if the Tories gets in. Tax, Immigration, Jobless, the list goes on, so the country will slide deeper in a mess if the Tories do get in.

Answer 8

I'd say they were pretty good - fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint) many people see Labour being mainly represented by Blair, his decision on Iraq and foreign policy. Hence, they will be voting the other way come the general election.
Even though Blair will not be standing, its maintained that his views are shared by the rest of the party and so voting for the Tories is the only viable alternative (voting Lib Dem or other parties seems a waste of a vote unfortunately, even if you agree with their policies)

Answer 9

To answer your last question... the Tories won the last election in England. Labour are only in power by way of their support in Scotland and Wales.

Answer 10

Depends how many voters are taken in by the lies we get from this government.
But then we had quite a few from the last (Tory) government.
Any chance of a worth while alternative, and I don't mean the lib-dems.

Answer 11

There has never been an English General Election, so how can there be a next one?
