Between Tories And Reform Lies A Good Centre-Right Party

THE CONSERVATIVES began this election campaign by telling wavering voters that a vote for Reform UK was a wasted vote that the next Prime Minister is inevitably going to be either Rishi Sunak or Keir Starmer and, therefore, voting for anyone else would simply help the latter into Number 10.
