Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : If switching back to a strict diet of Thatcher-style conservative realism proves too much for Johnson, the party has a suitable replacement, the much leaner chancellor, Rishi Sunak, an enthusiast for free markets and a sceptic about government.
45% : This autumn, it's possible that difficult decisions about state spending and taxes after the pandemic - or amid another resurgence - will force the Johnson government to behave in a way that is seen as more realistic.
42% : Yet in the meantime Johnson's Tories have abandoned Thatcher's conservative realism - for a much more speculative mixture of populism, nationalism, authoritarianism and economic interventionism.
