Exclusive: What do floating Conservative voters think of the party?

YouGov hosted a focus group with 7 Blue Wall voters from around the south east exclusively for Sky News.

Some natural Conservatives, some former Tony Blair supporters, all with one thing in common: each voted Tory in the 2019 general election.

So what are their views now of Liz Truss and Sir Keir Starmer?

Pink shirt is no floating voter.He is out and out Tory as trustworthy as a snake.

To the chap who said interest rates today are not as bad as they were: A 10% interest rate on a £40k mortgage in the early 1990s was not great, but 5% or 6% on the same property today is likely on a mortgage of £200k+ and a killer, especially when salaries have not risen in line with housing costs over the last decades.

The guy sat, appropriately, on the far right has never floated his vote in his life, unless it was voting for UKIP.

[dianeshelton]

Bloke in pink shirt utterly lacking in compassion and empathy, Tory voter through and through, never voted anything else in his life Rees Moggs best make

[jcreedy]

Grey jacket is a perfect example of a well-spoken Tory who has very little intelligence to go with it. Maybe he's related to Rees-Mogg.

"What do floating Conservative voters think of the party?"
How is the abrasive extremist guy, who gets most time and is a huge Truss fan ("If Conservatives do not rally around Truss they are committing political suicide) a "floating" voter?

[audreymcgready]

They have had enough time to make it work. Get them out.

[danlanch]

How is pink shirt dude a 'floating tory' 😂 😂 😂

[sugarfree]

Is the dude in the pink shirt a plant? A garrulous one at that.

[hksolo]

and why do MPs get free food from Parliament? surely they can pay. The extra tax payers' money could invest somewhere useful

[idonthavealoginname]

' A new era for Britain ', yeah, millions more in poverty while level down crashes what's left of GB.

[crayontom]

Mr Stockbroker in the link shirt is clearly not a floating Tory voter. He’s their core vote

[sturgeonguy]

Sound of your videos are terrible, just echoes, strange music drowning out the people..terrible

[neilburns]

I saw just in the last 72 hours a couple of respected senior Tory members namely Ken Clarke and Christopher Walker both saying that they don't really hold out much hope for the next General Election from a Conservative point of view.

I honestly feel that Sir Keir Starmer and his shadow cabinet have a more united front and talk for a far greater percentage of the British electorate than Truss and her cabinet ministers.

[jonathand]

Can anyone explain to me how growth can be a target when any business choosing to invest in the UK will face sky rocketing energy bills?

[silverlakeas]

I vote for absolutely anyone except Conservative……

[schannks]

The Tories made a huge mistake of not electing Rishi Sunak. Racial prejudice prevails in Briton and in the Conservative party!

[michaelmcclafferty]

This would have been a very interesting video if I could hear it properly.
The sound quality is poor.

[MasonDixonAutistic]

Did Sky News fire all the sound editors for this video?

[wickerbathtub]

Rishi must be having a laugh right about now. As much as I hated him taking the Tory red meat culture war garbage, he at least seems to understand economic issues far better than Truss or Kwarteng.
