The Conservative Party blew it when they chose Ted Heath over Enoch Powell.

The real problem...

That, as in the US, the letter after the name means jack anymore.

A pol either represents the citizenry or Deep State.

Too many UK pols are Deep State.

And the UK doesn’t have a Trump standing between Deep State and citizens.

The UK Conservative policy is like a chart of a steadily declining stock - it is a many decades’ long series of lower-highs, and much lower lows. It presently is crashing.

“Enoch is STILL right.”

Agreed.

It is sad to see a former great power shrivel and die.

Unfortunately we are next.

It’s a closed system though i.e Farage has to be a member of the Parliament to even get near being PM.

It’s not possible.

Usually anxiety in such systems ends in riots, etc.

Should have selected Farage. The Tories have also fully embraced the cultural left.
