The situation here in the UK is now at a tipping point for the Right of politics.
The Conservatives are in control of this in my opinion at the moment. It is a tarnished, but still a huge political brand. How they set up over the next few months will be key.
Firstly they have to start being genuinely Conservative, and I would even argue "Restoration" is a huge issue. They have to undo the Blair reforms of judiciary and Bank of England and start carving up many of these Quangos that fight against Conservative Governments as they are institutionally left and progressive.
We must get accountability back to the House of Commons and they must have a credible leader, not a wet centrist.
Secondly they need to start putting forward Conservative Policies on Defence, Security and Policing, Taxation, Public Spending Control, deficit and debt reduction.....
Thirdly and perhaps most importantly, they cannot ostracise Farage and Reform. Reform took over 4 million votes, just over 14% of the votes and are 2nd in 98 constituencies.
They need to have a civil, working relationship with Reform because if we are going to return a right of centre Government at the next election, there will either have to be an electoral pact, or the parties will have to have merged.
Merging can only happen if the new Tory leader is a true Conservative and the pool isn't great.
Finally, within 2 years we are likely to have Trump with his "drill baby drill" and Poilievre in Canada joining that North American energy revolution.
Reform will be onboard with it. The Tory Party also need to be and that means scrapping the climate change act, ending all Net Zero commitments and targets, scrapping all subsidies for renewables and joining this energy revolution.
It will be the best route to growth, paying down the debt and setting this country up for a great second half of this century.
If the Party doesn't do that, and goes down the route of a Tugendhat they are toast and it will hand Reform more votes, but probably ensure Labour win another term.
*2 of 2. This is how you always need to vote:*
We must fully resist and _always vote_ *against* (& less authoritarian than) both the Democratic/Labour *and* Republican/Conservative Parties- including Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, Rand Paul (He’s _no_ Ron Paul), Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Ron Johnson, and all other Republicans. Vote in every single election- at all levels. And also _endorse or anti-endorse,_ in all elections you can, for outside your voting jurisdiction.
For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the same one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide.
Real libertarians will never be Republicans or Republican loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Democratic member or loyalist either.
If no candidates for a position fit that bill:
-Where _write-ins_ are permissible, always write-in an anti-authoritarian person;
-Where write-ins aren’t permissible, always vote uncommitted or leave the ballot blank.
This will continuously reduce the power of _all_ authoritarian parties in the party monopolies. Until our task is complete.
Repeat strategy for all new authoritarian parties that emerge.
I vote for FedGov abolition.
I vote for TEXIT.
Anything else is a waste of time.
How does this reduce anyone's power?
@@authenticallysuperficial9874 Lower percentage of votes for a Party equals more power. They function for votes.
Was that a genuine question?
They took it way too far with kids starving in the hunger games and crap
:D
