In an 'increasingly socially liberal' UK, are Tories headed for the political wilderness?

Britain will hold a national election on July 4 which opinion polls indicate will end 14 years of Conservative Party-led government. Opinion polls show the opposition Labour Party more than 20 points ahead of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservatives. Pollster YouGov has projected Labour could win 425 seats, with Conservatives on 108, which would mark the lowest number of seats won by the party in its near 200-year history. With the conservatives heading for a once-in-a-lifetime historic defeat, just days away from the polls, FRANCE 24 is joined by Tim Bale, Professor of Politics in the School of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary, University of London.
