Tina Stowell: The question that voters are asking in this election is – who’s with us, and who’s against us?

Last June’s Brexit vote had less to do with EU membership than a wider discontent with how Britain is governed.

By Baroness Stowell | 14 May 2017 | 108 comments

Lord Ashcroft: My new venture – the Ashcroft Model, showing seat-by-seat election prospects

It comes with a stipulation of its own. My constituency estimates, to adapt my 2015 mantra, are a probability, not a prediction.

By Lord Ashcroft | 12 May 2017 | 6 comments

Exclusive: UKIP candidate registers ‘home address’ at Bed and Breakfast

Phillip Broughton is standing for the Party in Hartlepool, historically one of their electoral strongholds.

By Mark Wallace | 12 May 2017 | 11 comments

Douglas Carswell: Those posh left-wing people who get on the BBC have helped drive UKIP voters to the Conservatives

What we are witnessing right now is one of those magnificent moments in British political history; a great Tory pivot.

By Douglas Carswell | 12 May 2017 | 147 comments

Iain Dale: There must be a reckoning for the Electoral Commission after the election

Plus: UKIP abandons the field against Remain Tories. A bike-riding Minister isn’t canvassing. And: Michael Crick should apologise.

By Iain Dale | 12 May 2017 | 66 comments

If the energy cap doesn’t fit…

May wants to break with the Thatcher tradition on controls, but there are risks from our old friend the law of unexpected consequences.

By Paul Goodman | 9 May 2017 | 57 comments

Iain Duncan Smith: In London, the Conservative campaign faces a very different electoral landscape

We began the election with Labour ahead in the polls in the capital. The Lib Dems are trying to capitalise on the Remain vote. And it’s likely to get nasty.

By Iain Duncan Smith | 9 May 2017 | 53 comments

No, the Conservatives have not “become UKIP”

They’re simply winning over the voters of a competitor party. That’s how democracy works.

By Mark Wallace | 8 May 2017 | 154 comments

Sarah Ingham: The local elections show the voters have other priorities beside Brexit

The poor showing for UKIP and the Lib Dems proves those on both sides of the debate wish to move on.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 6 May 2017 | 55 comments

May’s Great Patriotic Election is now in full swing

Her strategy of winning over UKIP voters en masse while not losing Remain Tories to the LibDems worked well yesterday. What will Labour voters do on June 8?

By Paul Goodman | 6 May 2017 | 176 comments

County and unitary election results: Live Blog – Oxfordshire still no overall control

Net gains for the Conservatives in England 319 seats, net Labour losses 142, net UKIP loses 137, net Lib Dem losses 28.

By Harry Phibbs | 5 May 2017 | 91 comments

Steve Turner: Why I have joined the Conservatives

I concluded that UKIP could not offer the articulate vision of the future that the residents I represent want.

By Steve Turner | 4 May 2017 | 24 comments

Paul Mercer: Here in Loughborough, we’re finding a mass of former Labour supporters backing the Tories

The occupier of a council house declared that he had not voted for Nicky Morgan at the last election before explaining that this was only because he had been in prison.

By Paul Mercer | 2 May 2017 | 18 comments

Daniel Downes: Beware of what you wish for – in this case, an election landslide

The message is one of strong and stable leadership. But what does it actually mean?

By Daniel Downes | 30 April 2017 | 117 comments

Electoral pacts will likely do neither side much good

The ‘progressive alliance’ is one of the left’s favourite myths – but the idea that Tory and UKIP votes are interchangeable is folly also.

By Henry Hill | 29 April 2017 | 72 comments
