When William Hague lost, the great political "thinkers" claimed it was because he was too right wing in going on about getting a grip of the immigration shambles and the like. And it was essential that they crowded onto the centre ground with the others. The same thing happened when Howard lost, even though he won the popular vote in England.
So Call Me Dave changed tack, bought himself a bike, put a windmill on his house and set off to save the polars bears. His poll ratings went up, and he was particularly popular with the young and Guardian reading types. All that's gone arse up now simply with the passing of time, and with "new" boy Gordon handed the reins.
When people are asked what Dave can do to pull back in the polls they come out with ideas like; get a grip of the immigration shambles, crime, building more prisons, doing something about teenage vandals, discipline in schools, and the welfare dependency culture. All reasonable stuff to decent people.
But the problem is the "liberal"/left media will smear them, claiming they are dangerous right-wing fanatics. And that puts the sh*ts up the Tories. Possibly with good reason, they're snookered really.
