How did the Tories become the chaos party‪?‬ The Bunker

The Conservative Party was once a unified force, able to steadily maintain power. But today’s Tories are in constant turmoil. How did they become the party of chaos? Since Brexit there’s been a revolving door of leaders, the rise of tribalism within the party and a series of humiliating byelection losses. Alex Andreou is joined by professor of politics at Queen Mary University Tim Bale to try and understand this shift in conservative politics.  
 
• “Everything that top Tories say needs to be considered as part of their future leadership contest.” – Tim Bale 
• “Without Brexit, we wouldn't have seen the turmoil that we've seen over the last decade.”  – Tim Bale
