    Congratulations Britian. It’s unfortunate to see so many other nations turn the other way.

      This isn’t an open and shut case. People were pissed off with the Tories, but Tory voters have not switched to Labour, many of them have switched to a party even further to the right, reform, and that is the electorate that the Tories are now going to be chasing for the next election.

      This vote wasn’t anti-rightwing, it was simply anti-tory and the chance that the next election will yield a party even further to the right of the previous government is considerable.
