Sir John Curtice, speaking on Thursday ahead of a round of the English local election, said that five parties were seriously betting on the votes, threatening the duopoli-conservative who had dominated politics for a century.

He said that the Populist Party of the right of Farage – which leads the work and conservatives in some national opinion polls – overcome its predecessor Ukip, while the Democrats and Green Liberals showed strong levels of support.

Curtice, a veteran election analyst, told Financial Times that the division of the old left-right no longer explained British politics and that cultural problems were now a key factor. “Politics is no longer unidimensional,” he said.

“The conditions are there for the greatest challenge for the political conventions of British politics since the 1920’s,” he added, both with work and the Tories that spilled the basic voters and the poll in the 1920’s.

Conservatives, who defend almost two -thirds of more than 1,600 seats Local electionsThey are based on a hammer, with a reform that challenges the main part of the right in many areas and the LIB DEMS aimed at large gains in the south.

Although Badenoch acknowledged on Sunday that conservative counselors could deal with the reform locally after the May 1 election to achieve their policy goals.

“I will not go into any coalition with Nigel Farage,” he told Sky News. “Local, it is different.”

“At the moment, we are in coalition with Democrats liberals, with independents. We have been to the coalition with the labor before at the local government level,” said Badenoch, whose leadership could have new pressure if the Tories act very badly on Thursday.

She added: “Many people who are on the reform now are deviant conservative counselors. So they probably have worked with some of these people before.”

Pat McFadden, Minister of the Office of the Cabinet, said to Financial Times: “The Conservative Party is one of the most successful parties in the western world, but is currently having a negotiation with itself as to whether it can win again or not.

“It seems to be going through a trusted public crisis in the midst of the local election campaign. One of the most amazing things is that it reproduces in public.”

McFadden admitted that Labor also faced a great challenge to defend the seats on May 1, with the public support he won last year. He said that the party had inherited “a difficult situation”, but insisted that it was beginning to advance the reduction of the NHS waiting lists.
