It’s just an excuse to not do his job. Too much like work.

I think most of her contacts don’t have much power now. Her party is a rump now and her wing of it disgraced. Also, she is toxic to PR.

They will know her from their already bat shit echo chamber sources. This might help them to look further.

Because those Americans might not know who they are listening to. It’s in our interest that American doesn’t listen to people who tank economies. The world is very interconnected.

Who would hire her now?

Well that’s true. And it didn’t just stoke racism, but wasted huge amount of money and energy. They have done so much damage to this country’s economy and soul. They should never be forgiven. I have as much blame for small c conservatives who went along with it all. Hope the party died off as it’s voters age out the population. There need to be a better opposition. LibDems?

This is disappointing. Criminals are already covering their faces. Making that illegal won’t change that because they are criminals, so you just increase the laws they are breaking.

This is purely for mass surveillance. “Never waste a good crisis”

And Russia troll farms will be active in all of those other countries too. Sewing division.

“The paradox of tolerance.”

Odd phrase and I’ve noticed your on Lemmy.world. You not a Brit?

Anyway, it fell apart didn’t it. In 2019 Boris made it look like it could hold, but it absolutely couldn’t. Though I would say a lot of that election was really anti-Corbyn.

2015 was pre-Nazification of the Conservatives. Before Brexit made them bat shit. 2024 was it all coming home.

My point is they can’t have those voters who have gone Nazi, and those voters who left for the Lib dems. They can’t win on the Nazi vote alone. The Nazi vote isn’t really growing.

2015 - UKIP - 3,881,099 - 12.6%

2024 - Reform - 4,117,221 - 14.3%

They also lost a lot of votes to LibDems too as voters were appalled by how far to right the Conservative had gone. Going further to right to chase the Reform/UKIP/Brexit party down the crazy rightwing hole will have lost them more still on the left & centre.

But that’s the whole problem. People haven’t been turning Tory as they get older. So the Tory base is aging out of the population.

The Torys probably have at least another term of crazy, before they get their ship in order. They’ll have some new “hug a hoodie” centrist leader and stop being so visibly the naughty party.

I think we loosen connections with US and increase them with sane European countries. The US is heading for isolation, and decline because of it. We have friends right next door.

They lost those guys because those seats couldn’t be won by a more right wing Conservative. But the party went full further right and those voters rejected it. They will not rewin those seats from the right.

And what will the other half do when it happens? They honestly think they could achieve anything staying? If so, they are… mistaken.

If the Tories do what we think they are about to do, I think the last of the right-centre voters clinging on will give up on them, and further swell the LibDems.

Maybe at least getting those votes stuck off their official vote count. It was about that. They wanted every vote nationally they could. More vote votes than seats fit their politics of grievance. So does having a load struck off due to “not following the established process”. They won’t want the real word, fraud.

Pretty sure Reform has plenty of x-labour racists too.

Centre Tories seam to have gone LibDems. Or not voted all.
