Brexit continues to influence voter alignment, with the Conservative Party now lacking a clear stance on the pro- or anti-EU divide, which could harm their electoral prospects.

Political strategists advise the Conservatives to shift focus away from directly confronting Reform UK on immigration and instead emphasize issues like the economy and healthcare, where they still maintain some voter trust.

There is concern that if the Conservative Party does not reposition itself effectively, it risks losing its status as a major governing party, with some analysts describing the party as being at 'base camp' and unable to see the 'Himalayas' of power.

The Conservative coalition formed in 2019, which included both pro- and anti-Brexit voters, has largely dissolved, with many former supporters now backing Reform UK or Nigel Farage's party, indicating a significant political realignment.

Recent YouGov polls show the Liberal Democrats at 15%, just behind the Conservatives at 16%, with Reform UK leading at 29%, reflecting shifting voter support after the collapse of the 2019 coalition.

Recent polls and analyses suggest that the Liberal Democrats are poised to win more parliamentary seats than the Conservatives if current trends persist, due to their geographically concentrated support benefiting from the electoral system.

The Conservatives are now equally unpopular among both Brexit and Remain voters, and their original coalition has broken down, putting their role as a governing party at risk.

The party no longer maintains a clear pro- or anti-EU stance, marking a significant political realignment following Brexit.

Experts suggest the Tories could benefit from attacking opponents on less defended ground or re-engaging voters on core issues like the economy and healthcare to rebuild their electoral base.

The electoral system favors the Liberal Democrats because their support is more regionally concentrated, whereas the Conservative votes are more dispersed, putting the Tories at a disadvantage.
