    Its possible but in that situation I can see the Torys splitting if they lost that bad into two parties, center right and far right. Its already long over due and they were very lucky that Brexit didn’t result in the split.

    Having to rebuild from being the 3rd or even 4th largest party would absolutely decimate their candidate pool of credible candidates and by the next GE they will have lost a significant amount of members due to age. It would be a similar task to the rebuilding of Labour under Smith/Blair but without the union support to build on.

    Reform need the legitimacy and credibility that the Torys give them, I am just doubtful that when push comes to shove that they would risk killing that.
