      They had already voted for him. At that point, they’ve fulfilled their use, and if anything he’d probably be quite happy to off a few of them.

      He was never a party man. His entire cabinet would happily see the Conservative party burn once they’ve got their money and power out of the public.

          They should be utterly decimated…but I lost my faith in the UK voting public a long time ago. I have a few friends in Tory strongholds like Surrey and Somerset, and even now they’re fully against the potential for a Labour government.

          IMO the best thing that could happen to traditional conservatism is for the party to be annihilated at the next GE. Get the US-style identity politics and populism shite out, see it for the damage it caused the country, and give a populist Labour government some competition under a leader that isn’t a fucking nutjob.
