UK Tories Likely To Recover After Poor EU Parliamentary Election Results - Lawmaker

The UK Conservative Party, as known as the Tories, will probably be able to revive its ranks and public image after its predictably humiliating European Parliament election results, but the opposition Labour Party is unlikely to do the same, the UK Christian Peoples Alliance party leader, Sidney Cordle, told Sputnik on Friday
UK citizens cast their ballots in the European elections on Thursday, but have to wait for the rest of the European Union to vote before the final results are revealed on May 26. According to a survey published on Wednesday by UK pollster YouGov, the Conservative Party is expected to get just 7 percent of the vote, while Labour is not far off with 13 percent.
"What will then happen is that the Conservatives will elect a new leader who will likely revive the fortunes of the party.
However it's looking very bad for Labour with nothing on the horizon for them to revive their fortunes," Cordle said.
The lawmaker added that UK politics were more fluid now than ever and that a Liberal Democrats-Green Party alliance could take over in the country's next general election.
According to the YouGov poll, the UK Brexit Party, the pro-withdrawal party that was formed as a response to the government's failure to deliver a divorce deal, has received the majority of votes 37 percent meaning it may get up to 28 seats in the European Parliament.
The Tories' record low public support levels are likely linked to the failure of the party's leader, Prime Minister Theresa May, to deliver Brexit. On Friday, May announced that she would resign on June 7.
