      Or… (and bare with me here) generations of establishment parties doing fuck all for the people while burning the world, backing a genocide, and insisting that everything was fine because “line goes up”.

      Support for Labour and the Conservatives fell apart when both parties decided that they didn’t care about the same things the electorate do. There’s no nuance missing. They gave up and expected us all to fall in line. We aren’t, and now they’re acting confused as to where their support went.

    Not necessarily a net positive with Reform being even loonier right wing than the Tories under Boris, but this definitely reflects a shift from years of the regions being told how world-leading the UK is, but due to the enormous wealth disparity between London and everywhere else they have worse quality-of-life than the poorest red state.
