Losing your ministerial office, a pay cut having to deal with constituency hedge complaints - the transition from power can be difficult
It took the Tories 13 years and three leaders – William Hague, Iain Duncan Smith and Michael Howard, to return to power in 2010 – and then in coalition – under David Cameron after losing the 1997 general election– unless there is a radical shift in the polls – and end up in, as a Tory source put it, “that miserable state known as the official opposition”.this week that Sir Keir Starmer’s party has a “99 per cent chance” of winning the next election.
“Most opposition MPs now spend their entire life dealing with people’s hedges and rubbish like that and it’s just boring.”The MP reflected that the prime TV presenting spots that many politicians, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg and Lee Anderson, have enjoyed over recent years may also become a thing of the past.
“Then there’s a period of grief, but also denial as you’re acting as if you’re still in government. If you look at the opposition in 1997 and again in 2010, they forgot they weren’t in power.” And, while even junior ministers get a boost to their salary, the only member of the opposition to get extra pay is the party leader, meaning those now in government could face a major pay cut.
