The UK got the vaccine earlier than most countries, that’s why the Conservatives are being rewarded. Most voters are apolitical.

The Conservaties presided over more than 100,000 needless deaths, and disruption to our lives. Starmer utterly failed to provide any kind of opposition at all, so the Conservatives haven’t been blamed for this. And the UK has actually fallen considerably behind the US in the pace of vaccination.

Also if you actually look at the results, a lot of it is Labour plummeting rather than the Tories surging.

Exactly.

Plus, the UK has been essentially a one-party state for a hundred years or more. Starmer (who gets the wall) just formalized it.

This is genuinely the big thing. Ignoring his politics, Starmer is still absolutely shit opposition and spent a majority of the pandemic supporting every choice Johnson made, with maybe a few changes he would point out.

That’s not strong enough to convince people that you’re better than the opposition.
