The author seems to ignore that the 'conservatives' will lose mostly to a party (Reform) led by the man who led Brexit and wants to better control net migration while the 'conservatives' failed horribly at illegal in migration control.

Well, yahoo finance. I suppose one assclown’s failure is another man’s success? Just a SWAG!

“the nationalism, isolationism, and anti-immigrant fervor that drove Brexiteers”

I sense a tiny bit of bias, here.

We had our moment with GWB.
It requires a very strong leader to make this work.

Illegal immigration is the problem!

None of us is against immigration, per se.

My parents were immigrants. My Dad’s family waited 15 years for their immigration visas.

My Mom had to wait 6 years.

They were thoroughly vetted, medically and politically, before being allowed to enter.

What we oppose is unchecked, unvetted, mass-migration via illegal entry.

That fact is NEVER mentioned by the Establishment Media.

The British “conservatives” were more like RINOs They failed to move to the “far right” so they were turned out.
As Europe is beginning to reject leftism the Brits are fed up with fake conservatives.

Brexit was doomed to fail when no limit on mass migration of alien population occurred. In fact, EU is doomed to fail for the same reason.

Perhaps Hungary will thrive.

Brexit spectacularly failed because they couldn't compete against the unified economic power of the European Union.

Despite what a lot of people (include me) think of the EU, at least its member states operate under one set of regulations, which means anyone selling to the EU only need to pass regulations once. Realizing that goods trade is so important inside the EU, that's why multiple member EU states are spending a fortune on initiatives to improve trade, especially train transport (they're building two major tunnels for rail transport from Austria south and massively improving railways in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia).

"Brits now view their populist experiment as a dismal failure.Brits now view their populist experiment as a dismal failure."

They would. These are the same people who allowed Henry VIII to create chaos in their lives and religion, in order to get a divorce to marry a woman he executed three years later. These are the same people who executed their King, and then 11 years later, begged his son to take back the throne. And these are the people who voted Winston Churchill out of office in the first election held after the war ended, and then voted him and Conservatives back in the next election. And even though some of my ancestors came from there, the British can be very arrogant and stupid.

I am a little confused here...the author says the movement is anti immigrant then associates the movement with a guy named Rishi Sunak?

If Brexit is a failure, why are the migrants still passing through France and Germany to get to the UK?

The citizens of all English-speaking countries need to realize that free movement of people is a path to personal economic decline for most of them.

How many of you are looking to get a job in Honduras?

How’s your Polish?

Many Spanish in desirable areas are up in arms over the fact that the incomes they earn barely cover their living costs.

The EU will insist on the “free movement” of people even with a Labour government and they will not budge on the issue.

Ignores something else.

The UK Brexited in name only.

They are paying for attempting to Brexit the same way we are being made to pay for voting for Trump.

It was a failure because of the UK Deep State/Administrative State & the Tories incompetence. But the populist movement is still alive & well.

We are told the H-1B visa program is necessary because there’s sometimes no American with the needed skills available.

Surely, the continent must have a similar skills shortage problem.

If a continental company really needs a skilled Brit, they will bring in the Brit.

How many Brits have skills that can’t be found in the EU? is it even as high as 10,000?
