I remember Lizz Truss. For a short time I could winge about the conservative party to cab drivers without any fear that they would agree with them.
One of the good things about the UK is Trump style behaviour does not work here for long. Unfortunately it's more of an objection to incompetence than bigotry but that's life
Didn't that Trump style behavior convince you guys to leave the EU?
Not really, the politicians with a Trumpian style (Johnson and Truss) came after brexit and got there because of the polarisation caused by brexit (and had the example of Trump himself). There was definitely a lot of lying and false claims that were used by the leave campaign in order to get brexit and it shared some similarities with Trump, but it wasnt politics in the the style of being completely divorced from reality and overwhelming incompetance that defines Trump.
Fair. You have a point.
Though notably Boris didn't get away with everything after the fact. There were penalties for incoherent and inconsistent COVID and his hypocrisy.
Though it does concern me that it's entirely possible that only happened because A) a conservative wrote a report bashing his parties and B) right wing media groups didn't defend Boris
Yes but if you bring up that fact, they can’t act self righteous
