“Ms. Badenoch, who is in the final two of the Conservative leadership contest, will need to look outside core Tory voters to rebuild the party,” Baroness Davidson told Beth Rigby on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast.
She claimed that Ms. Badenoch’s decision to appear in outlets including News—which are “considered to have a high proportion of people that are already Conservative members and voters”—betrays “certainly a lack of confidence.”
This individual will need to rebuild the Tory party, and they will need to do so by speaking to those who are not already ardent Conservatives. said Baroness Davidson.
The former commerce secretary, Ms. Badenoch, “clearly thinks she is winning and she doesn’t have to chase it,” according to the Conservative Lord and former Scottish Tory leader.
In contrast to her opponent, Robert Jenrick, who has been conducting rallies, giving interviews on television and in newspapers, and making sure he is well-known on social media, Ms. Badenoch has made relatively few appearances during the campaign.
