It's extremely funny how in 2019 after Corbyn ate shit and Boris Johnson got awarded the mandate of heaven, there was an article posted on here/the chapo subreddit that postulated that the conservatives in the UK probably could be called the most effective political party in the world, in the sense that they're REALLY good at getting enough tories elected to form a government. Like, over the UK's history, an obscene percentage of it has been governed by the tories.

And now 5 years later, the tories have refused to do litterally anything about the problems facing the people of britain, and have allowed themselves to be taken over by the most rabid part of their electoral base, while said base is also moving away from the party and towards the actual existing fascism party.
