Half of Tory members want Kemi Badenoch removed as party leader ahead of next general election

Half of all Conservative Party members do not want to see Kemi Badenoch leading the Tories into the next General Election, according to a bombshell new poll.

The poll by YouGov found 46 per cent think the current Tory leader should stay in place when the country next goes to the polls, while 50 per cent say she should not.

When asked who they would prefer as leader of the Conservative Party, 46 per cent of Tory members said they would rather have Shadow Justice Secretary, Robert Jenrick leading.

In another blow for Ms Badenoch, just under half of Tory members would support a full blown merger with Reform UK, against 48 per cent who would oppose a merger.

The poll finds 64 per cent support an electoral pact with Nigel Farage's party, meaning the two parties agree to not field candidates in seats where the other is more likely to win, while 31 per cent do not.

Meanwhile, 73 per cent would welcome a coalition with Reform UK in a hung parliament, with 25 per cent against, with two per cent unsure.

Polling for Sky News consisted of 652 Conservative members between September 26 and October 2.

Why am i surprised, even her adopted nationality and party does not want her.

They dodged a bullet.

DoctorStanley:
It is only a POLL! Likely a manipulated poll at that. Polls also found Trump losing to Kamala by a wide margin. Polls and the Press in general tend to be quite liberal

Kushites:
The polls NEVER ''found Trump losing to Kamala by a wide margin.''

And NO. Just because you don't like the results of the polls doesn't mean they were ''manipulated''.

Kushites:
Take a look at the screenshot you shared , the second headline what does it say in plain English?'

malali:
UK polls are not like American polls. You are comparing party elections with general public. Her own party does not want her to represent them.
The tories do not want this eccentric woman. The writing is clear on the wall. I just wish she would return our Nigerian name "kemi" and adopt a more British name like Charlotte Badenoch, Olivia Badenoch or Sophie Badenoch

malali:


That was general elections polls Trump Versus Kamala

This is Kemi's party saying they don't even want her to represent the party.

Stop comparing apples and oranges.

DoctorStanley:
Which second headline?

MaiDeribe:
You shared it. Why are you acting naive, when caught ? LMAO

DoctorStanley:
Well 4 points is a wide margin considering that Trump won in a landslide!

AndroBlaze:
That is a national poll and Amercian presidential elections are not won with a national popular vote. Trump won in a landslide with the electoral college, which is different (though he also slightly won the popular vote in the third time of trying).

Kemi will be gone soon, she was foolish not to learn from Sunak, burn all her bridges and think she could be more Catholic than the Pope!!

Once the Tories have a white leader, they will recover a lot of their support.

Grassroot Party members know this, which is why they have lost faith in her.

DoctorStanley:
Burn what bridges? Do Nigerians vote in UK elections. She's doing what she needs to do to become PM and she just might succeed despite the huge odds against her. She's suspect as an immigrant whose heart might still be with Nigeria (which I have no doubt it is - never mind all the exaggerated distancing.) It's all politics - how do you convince Brits you love their land more than your own fatherland you grew up in?? Not easy at all, because it is not true!

malali:
Kemi Badenoch’s fall from grace may come faster than she expects. For all her noise and controversy, she isn’t as popular as she imagines. The excuse that “she’s doing what she needs to do” doesn’t sound like strategy, it sounds like desperation. Why not simply be herself and let the electorate decide? No one can pretend forever; it’s exhausting and soul-sapping to perform a persona that isn’t real. The truth is, she isn’t pretending , she’s just grown comfortable being caustic. And when she mocked Nigerians to score political points, she forgot that social media is borderless. Nigerians answered her in kind, and her own voters saw it. The whispers started: if even her own people don’t trust her, why should we? That quiet loss of moral credibility may prove the real reason her rise ends where it began.

DoctorStanley:
I'd admit she went a bit too far - that's her mistake. But you KNOW nobody in a foreign country hates their fatherland that much - and the Brits know it too! Even persecuted German Jews or South Africans who left Germany/SA still had Germany/SA in their hearts as their fatherland
