Future of the Conservative Party

Future of the Conservative Party

The changes in the last nine months were enough to change how people view the Conservative Party that ruled for more than a decade. Which was questioned by multiple global platforms and political experts.

The last few days were one of the longest in the House of Commons, because of how many changes occurred in a short span of time, such never occurred in nearly 25 years of work in Westminister.

In a span of 50 days, three prime ministers were appointed which impacted the party and how the public viewed it more than they expected. And for that, many now fear the downfall of the conservative party and the rise of liberal parties in the next public election in two years.

This is not to say that they prefer conservative parties over liberal ones, they simply prefer the economic strategy for the former over the latter. The interest of correspondents from the Middle East and Africa, followed by India, and then the Americas, in the Conservative Party, is only for the economy, trade and money perspective it offers.

For example, Gulf Cooperation Council countries’ investments in Britain at the end of last year exceeded 140 billion pounds (more than 160 billion dollars in yesterday’s prices), an increase of nearly three times in the last decade, due to laws and reform procedures that attract and facilitate investment that the conservative party oversaw its implementation.

And for that, it is understandable why some fear the downfall of the party.

However, it is still hard to measure how today’s voters feel due to the changing influence of social media platforms; as for Arab investors, what is worse than the loss of the Conservative Party, is a parliament where the Conservatives are a minority and unable to form a coalition. This occurred in 2010 when the Conservatives had 306 seats (258 only for workers) and entered into a coalition government (2010-2015) with the Liberal Democrats (they won 57 seats).

This is to say that the public survey favouring the Labor party does not offer a clear view of the future of the House of Commons. Forecasting their futures can only be an assessment of probabilities. Social relations, after all, are not mechanisms grinding out predetermined outcomes.
