So you can take what you want from the Exit Poll and certainly celebrate Labour’s success. But now it seems the UK has its own Trump and Freedom Caucus that will dominate debate because they shout louder than everyone else. Bad things start small. Let’s hope those figures change. #UKGE2024
worries me a bit they eventually re-merge with conservatives, and what that power dynamic eventually looks like. But for today, at least, that is a problem for the future
I'm not sure that's going to be the case.
The radicalisation of the GOP in America is at last in part down to the gerrymandering of election boundaries. Politicians pick their voters in the USA and it pushes them to the extremes.
How much of the Tory party do you think will splinter off to libdems? Where else can they realistically go? They can’t stay in a Queen Braverman Faragiste party, right?
The number of liberal conservatives is quite small. Many might think they’re better staying and fighting to moderate the worst instincts, like the centrists did in Corbyn Labour.
They won’t merge with the conservatives, but only because the conservatives will move to the far right to merge with them first.
All the Tory talking points are basically ‘we weren’t fascist enough’.
