Really does feel like the US is going through our Boris phase. Although they've voted Trump in twice.
Only those that remained loyal to Boris, stayed. It wasn't a meritocracy. Look what we got. Mediocrity at best. Absolute loonies, unqualified people in most departments, or even working against average workers interests (beneath the bluster). It all brought sheer awful performance and results for the country.
Same will happen here. Just on turbo.
I think single digit percentiles of the UK learnt it's lesson with Boris, in terms of those remotely convinced by him or did support him, shifting away from him, and perhaps even that Tory way.
But it's not enough, and clearly far from enough realising similar in the US, it's gone the other way.
Other parties hold some responsibilities too, sure. But ironically, the Dems and Labour have been so terrified of being too different to their right counterparts, they are serving or offering up luke warm versions of the same thing. It's very difficult to breakthrough with enough of the public with this rational analysis. Especially with 2 horse race, FPTP systems, that are clearly, fairly uniquely, failing UK+US democracies.
