We generally support the "Tories" (Conservatives), especially those like Thatcher and Churchill. David Cameron very openly and publicly moved leftward to gain more of the youth vote (basically a Jeb Bush). While this election was a HUGE loss for the Labour and Liberal Democrats, it was not a huge gain for the Conservatives, other than just barely hitting the magic 326 number for a true majority. The Scottish National Party stole most of the gains (+50 seats to CON's +22), but they are also very Left-ward. The SNP is the #3 party in the House of Commons now, even though they only got 4.8 percent of the vote. UKIP (anti-EU, and for strong opposition to Islam) got 12.8 percent of the vote. They should do very well in 2020.

So the good news items are that their Left is fracturing and unhappy, their slanted polling is getting revealed for the fraud that it is, and their Right is looking like they might have a good future in 2020. Maybe they can even convince Cameron to quit moving left to grab votes... but maybe he will see this win as encouragement to run even further left. We shall see.

all true, and then there’s the fact that the country itself just doesn’t have nearly as many real conservatives as we do. They’ve strayed further afield even than us.....I don’t see another Churchill or Thatcher ever in England.
