    I feel like ending the culture wars is in the hands of the conservatives given how they’ve been the only ones fuelling them. At least the support for Suella seems to be falling like a lead balloon so that’s a start. Hopefully the party membership looks at their election defeat as the response to the hatefull, divisive rhetoric that it was and see there’s no sense in continuing with all the negativity.

      Probably not. I think a lot of their current thinking is that if they can lean further right they can claim those reform votes back. Probably if they have a white male leader again, some of those right wingers are going to come back.

      Some of them are also arguing for a broad left and right approach.

      I hope they keep arguing about it, fail to make a decision, and as a result stay out of power for at least a decade.
