Well Trump in power here, right wing sweep across Europe most likely and come next election almost certainly Tories or Reform in power - Trudeau definitely outgoing in Canada too.
People want traditionalism not liberalism and democracy is outmoded

People want traditionalism not liberalism and democracy is outmoded I am not so sure. People on R4 were basically saying that it was a bit like in the UK in that it was more about getting rid of Biden than it was a love in for Trump due to the way the voters felt about the economy. |

One of the main issues was illegal migration But interviews with voters show the No.1 issue, by far, was/is cost of living… |

In the U.K. it was ABC — anyone but Conservatives. Nevertheless, the basically middle of the road U.K. electorate went for the other two establishment parties — Labour and LibDem — although the harder Right took plenty off the fractured Tories.
Labour’s landslide isn’t that deep. If Labour doesn’t appeal more widely, Reform could become the main opposition at the next election…

Badenoch did poorly at PMQs. Failed to second Starmer's comments about Remembrance Sunday and pratted on with a false story of the budget speech allowing Starmer an easy put down.
She needs to raise her game and fast if she isn't to be a 500 day mere bookmark in history.

She needs to raise her game and fast if she isn't to be a 500 day mere bookmark in history. I watched the full session and thought Badenock did well — after all it's PM Questions, not just an opportunity to win approval by voicing platitutes. She scored with points about Starmer's (and Labour's) past comments on the now US President. And since she became leader on Saturday, she's had to appoint a shadow cabinet in addition the preparing for PMQ's.
She might not be in place at the next election, but are the Tories ready for a seventh leader anytime soon...?
