The tradition of the English working class voting Labour ‘because Grandad did’ died in the last general election, when BoJo won with a landslide victory. I believe this signified an understanding that Labour was now the party of non-Whites. So, based on that, and the fact that the polls are historically unreliable, I don’t think that English people (except for lefty youths) will be voting for Labour. And if they aren’t voting Conservative, then who?
I am probably being optimistic but I have a feeling that Reform will do better than expected.
Wherever I go there’s a sense that English people are fed up, in their quiet sort of way. They can see that it’s all a sham, the two parties do (or don’t do) the same things, so they might as well cast a protest vote.
But there could be cheating, so who knows.
I think there’s some truth to that. That the politicians in Britain are may be just dumb. i’m not being needlessly derogatory here. I have this theory that talent tends to wander around from field to field over time. Smart people like each other’s society and pursue the same things sort of like cool kids hanging together, except in this case, I guess it’s not a cool kids, but rather the nerds. Fields of endeavor become stale or outmoded and first rate minds seek growing and creative fields to make their Mark.
I had the theory that movies and entertainment are so bad right now because there’s no talent in that industry. All the smart people in our age are in tech(comp sci), or perhaps finance. Right now, politics is just not interesting to the smart people. It’s antiMeritocratic and depressing to them because it’s antiprogress. Hence the people in that arena really are mediocre. Whereas in the age of Washington and Thomas Jefferson or of Garfield and Theodore Roosevelt, that’s where the first rate minds were. Or in 18th or 19th century Britain.
I think that is a great theory!
Englishman here. I confess that in the run-up to the dismal election taking place here in the UK tomorrow, my spirits have been sinking rather. What a choice: a globalist-puppet pseudo-Conservative incumbent versus a clueless Socialist wrecking ball. Given the serious multi-dimensional problems that the UK faces right now – cultural, economic, social, with its infrastructure, its borders, its agriculture and so on and so on ad nauseum – it feels like being in need of an operational manual for a Cray-1 supercomputer and instead being offered a child’s colouring book.
What a joy it is, though, to hear Brits and Americans talking about this and making common bond (and how nice, too, to hear Morgoth’s Geordie accent, a cypher for neglected England if you like). It gives me hope. I don’t know how Reform will do, or whether they can formulate an effective long-term policy to turn things around after the five year shambles of the Labour administration that likely awaits us on Friday, but perhaps quietly a turn-around point has been reached? Here’s hoping.
Thank you Greg – my best to you my American brothers.
Morgoth’s point around 1:03:00 about the classic two steps leftward, half a step rightward of two party politics is bang on but the Conservatives never had much of a margin until 2019. Cameron negotiated a coalition with Clegg’s remant of the Liberal party in 2010 and then governed outright with 330 of 650 in 2015. Since 2019 it’s been non-stop crisis management. None of the five Tory PMs have had the slightest interest in removing the boot of the state from English necks.
