Rishi Sunak has endured a miserable election campaign.
Paul Ellis from Romsey in Hampshire probably summed it up best.
“I think the Conservative Party need a shock and I want to give them a shock,” he told HuffPost UK this week. “I’ll be making a protest vote just to remove the Tories.”
The 67-year-old had just been canvassed by his local Tory candidate, Caroline Noakes, who has been the MP for the constituency since 2010.
He told her that taxes should be lower and that the UK’s defences should be stronger.
