Speaking to GB News Community Editor Michael Heaver in Westminster, Baroness Fox outlined her assessment: "The electorate are furious.
"I mean, I think the people who voted for the Conservatives in 2019 by and large will be deserting the party in droves.
"But I don't think that they're necessarily going back to the Labour Party. I mean some of them will, a substantial minority certainly will, with a kind of shrug, not with any enthusiasm.
"But for many people they feel politically homeless and they just can't bring themselves to vote for the Conservatives.
"But it's worse than that. I think people really want to punish them. I think people feel like you really deserve to be humiliated at the polls, even though they know that that will mean a Labour Government.
"I think people feel can it get any worse? I mean it can by the way it can. I do dread a Labour Government.
"I think a Labour government will attempt to be completely managerial and technocratic and safe our hands. So in some ways it's not that different to Rishi Sunak, you know, economically.
"But they have something that I'm very suspicious of. First of all, they they will make inroads into having a closer relationship with the EU. But by the way, I think that Cameron will too, and he's the foreign Secretary now."
And Baroness Fox spelt out her concern about a potential Labour Government: "The most important thing about the Labour Party is that they are mired in identity politics.
"That's who they're new voters are. They've lost a lot of their working class voters because they treated them with such contempt in the Brexit."
