Any chance of you taking over your party???
"Any chance of you taking over your party???"
LOL! You wouldn't want me.
In the short term, no.
In the medium to long term, I think that conservatism has a very bright future. For reasons that have little to do with contemporary politics. In my view, socialism suffers from a very obvious problem. In order to have socialism, you have to have a class of wealthy people who will pay the bulk of the bill. Socialism assumes assumes as a premise those wealthy people will simply stand still while they're forced to pay ever increasing levels of "contributions." I think that's a false premise. People are increasingly able to work from anywhere. That's not good news for socialists who need the wealthy to stay put.
I think that 20-30 years from now, both political parties (if they even still exist) will offer varying levels of what we'd identify as political conservatism.
