His initial suspension over this was marked one of the pivotal moments of Mr Johnson’s downfall – with the former PM’s handling of it triggering a wave of ministerial resignations. But beyond that, there are several more specific things political commentators will be watching out for when the results emerge in the early hours of tomorrow.Looking to see how many voters have made a clean switch from the Conservatives to Labour will be very indicative of what kind of majority Labour would be looking at in the event of a national election win.
Such a result indicates that voters are prepared to make a significant leap from one end of the political spectrum to another. The Tories have held Mid Bedfordshire since 1931 and Ms Dorries held on to it in 2019 by 24,664 votes over second-placed Labour. They are defending a 19,600 majority in Tamworth., talk of any kind of anti-Tory voting alliance has fallen apart in Mid Beds where the Lib Dems wanted free reign to battle the Tories and were refused by Labour, who are second in the seat.
It would also be a message to the Conservatives that there is widespread anger directed not just at politics in general but at them in particular, as well as indicating that voters are prepared to take matters into their own hands.One of the biggest potential problems for the opposition parties is that voters are so dissatisfied with their former MP, and governing party, that they don’t bother voting.
