  • In British politics the death zone is less visceral, but no less serious. Any party that spends too long in the 20s or below in the polls is in deep trouble. Usually only one major party is unlucky enough to be so disliked.

The article from *The Economist* discusses the current state of British politics, describing it as entering a "death zone" where the political atmosphere is fraught with challenges and uncertainties. It highlights the Conservative Party's struggles with internal divisions, leadership instability, and policy failures, particularly in managing the economy and public services post-Brexit. The opposition, led by Labour, is also facing its own set of issues, including defining its stance on key issues like Brexit and economic policy, amidst a backdrop of voter disillusionment. The piece suggests that the upcoming elections could be pivotal, with the potential for significant shifts in political power, but also warns of the dangers of political gridlock and the rise of populist sentiments. The overall tone conveys a sense of urgency and concern about the future direction of British governance.
