Uma análise interessante sobre o resultado obtido pelo Partido Conservador liderado por David Cameron: Nobody has won in terms of votes, but the last-minute momentum was to Labour. Por Patrick Dunleavy.
Conservatives – yesterday Lord Tebbit was accurately quoted as saying that given the recession and Gordon Brown’s unpopularity as PM, the Tories should have been 15% ahead of Labour.
In fact they are 7 per cent ahead, and since 2005, over 4 years, they have grown their support by just 4%.
This is not an impressive performance, despite the party’s advances made in terms of winning seats. But Cameron will be safe from criticisms from the right because of the haul of new MPs.
