Looking back at 14 years of Tory rule - where did it go wrong for the Conservatives? | Vote 2024

After coming to power under David Cameron in 2010 and led by four prime ministers since, we examine what the past 14 years of Conservative rule have been like.
Sky News' Mark Austin is joined by former No 10 communications director Sir Craig Oliver and former culture secretary Baroness Nicky Morgan as they explore the past period of Tory premiership.

It went wrong the moment Cameron got elected in 2010. An awful, nepotistic, and actually rather cruel administration. He called the Brexit referendum, and resigned the moment it didn't go in his favour. I didn't mind May despite my disagreements with her (I don't think any PM would have thrived under the circumstances). The rest were awful. Johnson was a sociopath, Truss devoid of intelligence, and Sunak was dim and out of touch. But it all began with Iggle Piggle and his band of Eton Hooray Henries.

[@pammarley7685]

Where did it all go wrong?????? It was never right, “we can’t go on like this” was their slogan, instead they gave us 14 years of austerity, made us the pariahs of Europe, smashed many peoples dreams of owning their own homes and put the cost of living through the roof, whilst inviting their cronies to rip off the NHS (PPE) and other quango inefficient contracts. Nothing good came from their 14 years and don’t get me started on Bojo’s handling of Covid.

[@ElaborateTiger]

By far the worst of them all was David Cameron, he caused this mess. He rolled the dice on the future of this country, not once but twice. First with the Scottish Independence referendum and then with Brexit, none of which he personally wanted or campaigned for. He didn't do what the people voted him in for but instead decided to do the bidding of the SNP and UKIP that hadn't earned any electoral mandate. And of course the second gamble didn't pay off and we will forever live with the consequences of that grave mistake.

[@drunkenhobo5039]

If anything the independence referendum worked out well for him. The SNP hadn't been in power long enough to build up the level of trust they needed, he made sure to not have "Devo Max" on the ballot and the result was getting rid of Alex Salmond, the best politician in the country, and replacing him with the MI5 plant of Nicola Sturgeon.

[@ElaborateTiger]

@@drunkenhobo5039That referendum nearly led to the end of the United Kingdom and Cameron allowed that risk to happen. He put the petty party political disputes of the time ahead of the future of the nation and he didn't care how it went because he knew if his gamble didn't pay off, he wouldn't be the one paying the price. He risked permanent consequences over temporary squabbles. It doesn't get more reckless and irresponsible than that.

Why is the probably the worst of all these times forgotten? Austerity. Tuition fees triples without interest cut to offset this. Council cuts which led to youth club closures and contributed to 2011 riots. Constant nagging about debt like a teacher with repetition of 'deficit' from all ministers. Cosying up to markets and shareholders for company job cuts which cause redundant people to take entry level young peoples new potential jobs - contributing to 2011 riots. This was a truly miserable time and dull climate in the news to be in. One of the main reasons I voted leave. None related to immigration. Now back to remain in 2022. Brexit may not have worked, but heck it gave us an adventure, badly lacking in Austerity time 2010-2016 when govt didn't add anything, just took away.

For legitimate growth we need jobs and industry outside of the London financial bubble, but investors won't invest in manufacturing if we are bound by nonsensical net 0 policy and excessive taxes.

Theresa May never stood a chance ... The times created by the huge lie of Brexit, was only fit for the likes Johnson, Truss and indeed, Grey Man Sunak. They'll not be missed. Hopefully people understand that it took the Conservatives 14yrs to create this mess, hence Starmer cannot fix it in 14 days or weeks.

The original sin was the decision to pin the blame for 2008 on our public services rather than the bankers who inflated the debt bubble. With that came the decimation of our public services, the immigrant-bashing, the shifting of responsibility to the EU. The Labour right are equally responsible for validating this narrative - their only solution in 2010 and 2015 was to tell voters that they would do austerity better than the Tories and would implement even bigger cuts. Everything follows from the original choice to save the capitalists by cannibalising society.

Most Western countries are actually wealthier than they were in 2008. But whatever the wealth of the West as a whole is, there is no denying that in the last decade, accellerated since Brexit, the UK fared among the worst of them.

I think it was designed to look tough on asylum seekers and supposedly to stop the small boats crossing the channel between UK and EU. The crossings are highly dangerous and run by criminal gangs across Europe. The idea being to fly the asylum seekers to Rwanda where they will be held and processed instead of entering the country. Labour has outlined a plan to assemble a task force to target the gangs who facilitate the crossings in a hope to stop the boats at the source. The Rwanda bill was an expensive and divisive approach, it appealed to some but also many disliked the idea, the ethics and the cost. It also didn't stop the boats from coming so I'm not sure it was ever going to work. Bizarre and erratic flailing from a party that was ripping itself apart. That's my understanding of it.

During this time, the Conservatives will probably veer to the right with unelectable candidates, and then, realising that power in the UK is only achieved by centrist policies will elect someone electable - representing floating voters and their centrist policies.

Labour wasn’t my first choice but I wanted the Torries out so it was a tactical vote rather than in favour of Labour. I really hope they try to deliver on some of the promises to make it worth while voting in favour of them in the next election as I want progress made

[@PhilipJackson03]

5,168 days…that’s how long the UK has been under the Tories brand of managed decline.

[@Mig29now]

No not 14 years of tory rule, more the case being 14 years of tory misrule and near encroaching tyranny.

I want to thank David Cameron for once again making Paris Europe's financial hub. As a UHNW individual I was reading myself to move from the city in 2013 but talks of Brexhit made every single relevant bank and corporation shore up their position on Paris and my incomes from rents on building I own in Paris quadruple between 2014-2016 and more than quadrupled since. Also, UK was the largest taker in terms of farming subsidies so all my French, Spanish and Portuguese wineries but subsidised, something that couldn't happen before Brexhit. This man was a miracle worker for Europeans.

Tories a total mess ruined people's lives

[@veritysmart]

One word: hubris. Their own egos, arrogance and self interest tripped them up at every turn. Painfully predictable outcome and unnecessary suffering for us all on the receiving end of grotesquely punitive policies. We will NOT forget, we will NOT forgive.

[@VoiceOfReason579]

Wow that's a lot of leaders in a short time

[@suriyajabeen2085]

They just filled there pockets

"even failing to win over those whose very instinct is to follow" was brutal

[@celtictarotreadings333]

How cheeky of him to say we had challenging times since world war nothing like it

[@SirKilot]

Good video

[@bield7]

It started going wrong 14 years ago 😂😂

[@FifasFinestMw2King]

Shocked at most people’s reaction to the end of Tory rule. As if the majority didn’t vote for them… 3 seperate times

[@wildernessuk]

What a shitshow

[@leifandersen2756]

People have become poorer and the rich have become richer ! People have had enough ! No matter if Britain has got a Labour leader as PM the country will remain conservative !

[@adebolabloke6962]

Conservative? This is one of the most dangerously left wing countries

[@TheLostHistoryChannelTKTC]

The resistance begins with ‘refusal’ WHY should we abide? is the motivation to abide fuelled by a fear of what’s happening elsewhere? This is the UK, EVERYTHING started here!! The world flowered from these pastures, the NEW World too, will rise from these shores, this island is not what it seems! The Power is with the people, ALWAYS!! .

[@JavierGonzalez-qg5el]

Theresa May saying a citizen of the world is a citizen of nowhere was a really dark turn in British history. It will haunt my nightmares for ever. 2:28

[@Salvatore997]

BREXIT & WORSTED MANAGEMENT ECONOMY'S..THE PRICE THAT CONSERVATIVE PAY FOR THAT BIGGEST PRICE !!!!!!!

[@evolassunglasses4673]

They got a 80 seat majority but went for mass replacement migration/ 1.2 million in one year

[@emmental2020]

Never forget. Never forgive. Never again.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Nick Clegg was the doorkeeper to all this.

[@sukorcheembi1349]

After 14 years, it is time to change, give labour party a chance

[@DavidSmith-gx5mu]

What a disaster. It all went wrong when Cameron opted to appease a vocal minority to prevent ukip splitting a few tory seats

[@celtictarotreadings333]

Yep and what has brexit achieved

[@leehenry5764]

​@@celtictarotreadings333New trade deals across the world. Rolled out vaccine faster than any EU Country.stopped pick pocketing Romanians coming.

[@olivermadden5083]

Cameron has a lot to answer for. The referendum was the beginning of the end for the Tories. It was a stupid decision to hold one, driven by sheer ego and self-interest.

[@colinmelling6369]

Oh no not a trip down memory lane . It’s just to painful.
