The country has been run by the Conservatives for 30 of the last 43 years.
They had designed a way of running the nation which people felt safe with and people felt that conservatism was good for communities and living in a nation where things changed slowly and ‘brown furniture’ harvested from relatives was acceptable in your home. The whole shroud of conserve first, spend second.
In the betweeny years both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown knew that changing things had to happen in order to keep the nation up with its peers a program of work they followed rigorously but slowly and in a timely fashion that suited their audience, the British public.
Following a powerful comms campaign surrounding the ‘money tree’ Labour lost the 2010 general election, but during the thirteen years when Labour delivered the business for its constituents, the Conservative Party had undergone a silent change and ultra right activists penetrated the party, they succeeded their infiltration and at all levels began to push out conservatives and Ikea furniture was seen in their homes when filmed on social media.
This shift moved out the solid traditionalists and empowered those without limits.
David Cameron challenged the nation to show how they loved their european neighbors, he failed, Reuters reported later on Boris Johnson ‘Even in the Conservative party, there is growing doubt about the British free-market economy it largely created.’ Boris Johnson at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, 23 June 2022.
The next Tories at the top tipped the nation into a crisis that as a nation we have not recovered from then sat and watched as the great city of London’s bankers and stockbrokers lost their way and business slipped off to Paris.
The wreck of the nation and all of the bad news Tories have landed on the doorsteps of Conservatives have driven millions of voters who once believed in their party leaders towards Labour who seem to have the upper hand in the trust department for all the best reasons.
Change for the better is urgently required but change for the Tories over the next twenty years needs to centre on recruiting Conservatives and ditching the ultra right wing Tories who appear to be well entrenched at all levels of politics.
