If you think UK is bad now, just wait until the next election. The ruling Tories are going to be crushed, and the Labour Party will take power.
European conservatives are as socialist as the European liberal. They are not conservative as defined by an individual’s relationship to the government. For the European, the debate between conservatives and liberals is between becoming a Republic or staying with the monarchy.
On economic policy, it matters very little, if at all, who is in power.
The "Conservatives" have been in power since 2010.
When the Labour party takes over; if anyone thinks it was bad under Tony Blair, it will be a lot worse.
