The Conservative Party blew it when they chose Ted Heath over Enoch Powell.
No argument from me.
Although way before my time that.
Enoch is STILL right.
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.
