Brexit has a terminal disease and the symptoms are starting to become unavoidable The National Conservative conference has played out this week, often times coming across as a party political broadcast for the Tories’ political opponents. In trying to import an American style of conservatism, the whole thing has been an advertisement for why the Conservative party is going to lose the next election very badly, and further, why it deserves to do so.
I hope you are right but such right wing extremism is extremely popular in the US for a reason and I really fear their emergence in the UK. We have GB News and the rest of the right wing press who will urge everyone in that direction. I’m not so sure that in the medium to long term this will not be a huge issue.
Notice the new Tory line, "We had to enact Brexit, it was the will of the people, we are a democratic party."
This is interesting, it's the beginnings of the get out clause in the next Parliament, as things continue to unravel under Labour trying to make Brexit work the Tories will slowly become the more pro EU party who had to do Brexit because that was, at the time, the Will of the people.
Never, ever underestimate the Conservative Party........
