The latest polling has been done since the Chequers agreement by Opinium and it makes grim reading for the Government. They have seen their support haemorrhage to both Labour and UKIP over what they see as the betrayal of Brexit. As things currently stand this would see the Tories lose 51 seats and leave Labour in a position where they could form a Government with the Lib Dems & SNP support.
One Tory Brexit supporter said to the website Order Order:
“Exactly as predicted, our poll ratings have taken a nose dive since Chequers and for the first time in ages, those points have gone not to Labour but to UKIP. This govt is betraying the 17.4m that voted brexit so it is no surprise that people are now switching their support to UKIP. The PM has to finally start listening to her MPs and the British public – and she needs to do it fast. Otherwise it won’t be just her that’s toast – but the Tory party too.”
There is growing opinion that Theresa May will face a backbench rebellion sometime in the Autumn as the true nature of the Brexit betrayal crystallises fully. UKIP are the main beneficiaries of the drop in seats but in the two party system this would still not see them win any seats at the current polling levels.
