Description
The 2017 general election was expected to be a straightforward victory for the Conservative Party, but the outcome surprised many. In "The Lost Majority", Lord Ashcroft examines why the Tories' predicted success never materialized. Through his unique research, Ashcroft reveals what ordinary voters thought of the campaign and why Britain rejected Theresa May's appeal for a clear mandate to negotiate Brexit. He also assesses the challenges facing the Conservative Party in building a winning coalition after more than a decade of modernization. The book provides valuable insights into the factors that contributed to the election outcome, including the impact of 13 million votes on the party's chances of outright victory.
