If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? This is the existential dilemma that the Tory party now faces. The pain is real and their faces are contorted like Munch’s Scream. But they are locked into their own echo chamber of futility.
Fair to say the Tories have not adjusted well to opposition. Many continue to believe they are the natural party of government and the country has a sacred duty to continue accepting whatever deadbeats it puts in front of voters.
