They didn’t do that bad really, it just wasn’t reflected in the results. A new further right party showed up and split the right wing vote, which is largely why Labour won. If you look at the total votes the righter win parties did pretty well (Tories are really all that right wing but they did get the right wing vote).
Yeah, as much as I hate everything Farage stands for, fair play to him for splitting the Tory voters and delivering a Labour government. I just wish that kind of thing wasn’t necessary.
New party (Reform) skyrocketed in fact. Had the vote not been split, conservatives would have won many more seats. Next cycle will be.. Interesting. Especially with Nigel Farage getting a seat (Trump-like, seeded discontent leading to Brexit, who's never been elected before).
If the UK had a preferential voting system the Tories would have won a lot more seats
