The question has been raised many times by local residents in the past weeks since the Conservative victory at General election and also in the local elections in Bath.
Some answers have been coming forward and lots of theory's as to what happened that the Conservatives could take what looked to be impregnable seats in the South West at both Local and National level.
I have spoken to many residents who said they woke up on Friday Morning 8th May and said what have I done?. On questioning them a bit further had they voted conservative their reply was pretty much the same no that had not but had voted either Labour or Green, but now wish they had not. My Sample is small no more that several dozen people in Twerton Ward but if this was repeated across Bath and the rest of the country then we can see how the result came about.
It seems that we were all undone by a ruthless well organised Conservative party machine that had more resources in financial terms and drive than all the other parties put together.
This is explained in great detail by the Conservatives themselves on the Conservative Home webpage to which I have provided a link at the bottom of this article.
Why they would produce this is not known and is a complete surprise to us all unless we are being conned yet again?
