The unexpected outright victory of the Conservative party in the General Election shows that “the British people voted for competence”, the chief executive of the Conservative Christian Fellowship (CCF) said on Friday.

But Colin Bloom of the CCF, who has predicted for weeks that the Conservatives would get at least 326 seats, was unsuprised. Pollsters had “tried to turn politics from an art into a science”, he suggested.
While “absolutely delighted” with the result, he was also “conscious that very many good people from various parties have found themselves now out of public service. My thoughts are with them.”
