Brexit isn’t going quite to plan and the oven-ready Brexit deal may have not been properly baked, with polls suggesting that most Brits view it as a mistake and would rejoin the EU if given the chance. In this video, we take a look at potential solutions to Brexit and whether any of these solutions could help.

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Britain what was once, a place of unity and a beacon of society, it now only cement's the view that our very identity is being destroyed by multiculturalism and political narcissism. Britain is now a place of divide and greed. VOTE REFORM and once again we may see an age of COHESION and a Nation to be proud of.

Not just the tories. All political parties with "broad churches" will never satisfy the electorate's wishes or needs. A broad church is simply a coalition where compromise is the inevitable outcome on each and every decision. No such thing as a good compromise!

I find it absolutely hilarious the libertarian wing of the Conservatives don't like Rishi because he wasn't elected when the candidate they elected definitely had no mandate to do what she did lmfao. Hypocrisy.
The libertarian faction is literally just Tory momentum. Very popular with the party members, not popular with the electorate.

This seems to be a trend throughout the Anglosphere when it comes to the IDU-affiliated parties… Should they follow the right-wing populist path of Trump or a more traditional path of conservatives like Romney, Bush, etc. Frankly I think is an issue for the ages. We the the same issue here in Canada with our PC party splitting into two then reuniting only to splinter and faulter again. Under Pierre Poutine (his nickname around here for his alleged role in helping fix the 2011 election with robocalls) the party has taken a Trump-like populist bet and is succeeding, although for how long is anyone's guess… And down under in Australia? That's again TBD…

Liz Truss had her chance, her policies which were based on her long standing ideology had an immediate and extremely damaging effect (especially on the economy and markets, the thing she cared most about) and she resigned. Shouldn't that be the end of the whole thing?

I disagree wirh this. I would suggest the Liberal Conservative & Nationalist Conservatives are the main factions, with a small (economic) Libertarian faction that moves between both when necessary, lending it's support as a Kingmaker. A key example would be Brexit, this Right Wing economic Libertarian faction helped to drag the party towards the Nationalists.

It's peculiar that it wasn't mentioned how the most unpopular policies of the Tories are originating from the moderate wing. They don't appear to have anything to offer the electorate except for vague claims of better governance. That rings hollow when they've been in power for so long.

Whilst Cameron may have CLAIMED that he was a supprter of environmental causes, in reality he was nothing of the kind. Labour had planned to build large numbers of off-shore wind turbines – but the MOMENT Cameron came to power this program was stopped. So much for the Tories giving a DAMN about the environment. Clearly, they do NOT, REGARDLESS of which faction individual MPs or PMs may represent.
Since coming to power in 2010 the Tories have:
A) Given Oil Companies every financial and legislative assistance, at the expense of Renewal Energy enterprises, which have been sidelined
B) Pulled the plug on Labour's scheme to properly INSULATE homes and offices throughou the UK
C) Enabled Water Companies to pump industrial quantities of raw human excrement into our rivers and coastal waters.
D) Given the 'Green Light' for Oil companies to drill for more oil in the North Sea.
E) Enabled Coal Mining to re-commence
F) Gone against their OWN policy on ULEZ
G) Watered down all NET ZERO promises made previously

@ad1108am
December 19, 2023 at 5:02 pm
Considering how disastrous the Truss’ budget was for overall UK economy and an average citizen, how can we approach Conservative Party membership with any sort of trust? They must have, at least predominantly, benefit from her reforms. Therefore, they show openly that they care more about their own short-term gains than the overall stability of the UK economy. Unless someone can, calmly and politely, explain to me how can one square supporting Truss with caring about majority of UK citizen’s livelihoods?
Maybe a video about that TLDR, if you fancy?

I think the fact that tens of thousands of uk citizens have died because of Tory policies and catastrophic incompetence and corruption will hurt them more. The uk has never seen a more corrupt bunch of criminals in government. The way they have treated the taxpayers as their own personal cash cow to fill their offshore bank accounts is shameful. The whole lot should be thrown in jail and throw away the keys
