Lessons not learned

It was suggested that the defeat at the recent election wasn't bad enough to convince the Conservative Party it was wrong. A result that left the party with around 50 to 60 seats might be seen as severe enough to make the party think that maybe it was wrong, not the electorate.

But as it happens, current Leadership front runner, Kemi Badenoch, thinks the reason the Party lost the election was saying Conservative things, then doing something left wing. Implying that the electorate wanted more extreme right wing crazy stuff.

The reality is that for the most part, people really don't think left or right, they just want things to work.

Like they used to.

And after 14 years under Tory rule, just about everything is broken, despite it always being someone else's fault, the opposite of taking back control.

It would appear the lesson learned was the wrong one, maybe on purpose, but more right wing crazy stuff, more culture wars, more of everything the country did not want seems to be on the cards.

It was always going to be interesting to see whch way the Party jumped, left or right. But right means giving up the centre ground and being taken seriously.

Meanwhile, things the Dail Mail is currently losing its shit over: Deputy Prime Minister goes on holiday during Parliamentary recess, and Prime Minister moves portrait of Margaret Thatcher. Sadly, the BBC reports Mail editorials and bases much of its output on it.

What a world we live in today.
