Rishi Sunak needs to rally his flagging Conservatives. He hopes a dash of populism will do the trick

Published:

Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, is quoted in an ABC News article on the Conservative Party's 2023 annual conference:

“Public services are crumbling, the economy’s not responding and (the Conservatives) haven’t met some of the pledges they’ve made, so you’d expect them to be pretty downhearted,”

[The party is] "doubling down on the populism. It’s about pushing the Conservatives as standing up for ordinary people against some sort of elite.”
