    I know the point you’re trying to make, but generalisations like these aren’t helpful. After all, the UK have voted for the Tories for around 13 years, who are notoriously a low-tax party, and have a lot of support from wealthier people and self-employed people that don’t like their money aiding others.

      They shafted that notoriety by imposing the highest tax burden since the Black Death.

        Arguably, the Conservatives under Boris were a populist party that exiled the vast majority of conservative MP’s that still believed in traditional conservatism. Pair this with Brexit, and we ended up in a position where the only path forward is higher taxes or (further) financial ruin.

        The party will always be one of low taxes, and conservative values, but not until Sunak is out, and the rats leave the ship. Funny enough, the skilled trades and southern professionals still see the Tories in that light, even though they’re basically the Brexit Party right now…

      Yeah but fuck Britain.

      We know what it’s really all about, they are afraid of immigrants and foreigners. The taxes are just an excuse.

      You don’t see the temporarily embarrassed millionaire phenomenon over there. I mean the leftist party there is literally called Labor and is still much further to the left than the Democrats are, here A labor movement idea is too toxic to consider simply because too many dumbasses will happily lick boots leaving falsely, that they will be the ones wearing the boots someday.
