This has to be the most depressing General Election in the last hundred years. Even Major v Kinnock had more about it than this garbage.
Therein lies the danger. Who is going to turn out the lights this time?
If Starmer, the liquid candidate, wins a massive majority, God help us. Those who voted for Corbyn – the deluded, unemployable graduates and ex-BBC drones at the Fabian Society and Labour placers up and down the country’s quangos – will think the country actually wants them to reform the country in Lenin’s wake.
The reality is that we live in an era when, like the rest of Europe, the UK has moved to the right. 3 in 10 Brits are left-leaning and that number is decreasing now that examples of leftist calamities are so easy to verify online.
Starmer is dull. He’s part of the liberal elite. Sure, he’s a semi competent individual but look at the rabble around him. Yes, he’s a great win for the Right if the Left have to occasionally take power. It is just so sad that in this country they ever have to.
The Squires will be voting Tory. Not because Sunak is a good leader or because the Tories deserve any votes. But because a massive Labour majority could end so disastrously, with the Reds thinking they have carte blanche to do all kinds of stupid things, like reverse Brexit (civil war), squeeze the rich (to the point they leave and tax revenues plummet) and expand the crap, public organisations – the NHS, BBC, the Met Office, Natural England, much of the Civil Service and other wasteful parts of the ever-expanding Blob – which instead need to be cut back on or gutted.
The Lib Dems are a joke. What on earth has their baboon of a leader been up to the last few weeks? Splashing around in pools and bungee jumping? Pathetic.
Reform have been useful, not that they will get many seats. They have shown the Tories how they need to reform to attract back wise heads and popularity – starting this month in opposition.
The SNP need destroying. Do your thing, Scotland.
Let’s hope from this debacle that the Tories learn their lessons and put fourteen years of lacklustre government behind them. CCHQ needs a complete rebuild – Policy Exchange should focus on a cost-cutting strategy for the end of the decade that demolishes tax-heavy departments with AI. Let’s hope the Tories stay clear of Hague-like ‘leaders’, and banish critical theory. Let’s hope they can find and mould a decent leader who can take apart Labour soon.
On the positive side, five years of attacking Labour … what fun. Government by sixth form is surely the easiest to break apart, batter and bruise.
Bring on 2029.
Fast.
