There have been times when Conservative leaders have appeared moderately rational superficially – and other moments where they have sounded animal crackers, yet were still adored by their base. This is not such a scenario. A leading Tory didn't energize the audience when she addressed her conference, even as she presented the red meat of border-focused rhetoric she thought they wanted.

The issue wasn't that they’d all woken up with a revived feeling of humanity; rather they lacked faith she’d ever be able to implement it. It was, fake vegan meat. The party dislikes such approaches. One senior Conservative apparently called it a “New Orleans funeral”: loud, animated, but ultimately a goodbye.

Future Prospects for this Party Having Strong Arguments to Make for Itself as the Most Accomplished Political Organization in Modern Times?

Some are having another squiz at Robert Jenrick, who was a definite refusal at the beginning – but as things conclude, and everyone else has withdrawn. Others are creating a buzz around a newer MP, a 34-year-old MP of the latest cohort, who appears as a Shires Tory while wallpapering her socials with anti-migrant content.

Might she become the figurehead to beat back the rival party, now outpolling the incumbents by a significant margin? Can we describe for beating your rivals by becoming exactly like them? Furthermore, if there isn’t, maybe we can use an expression from martial arts?

One need not consider overseas examples to grasp this point, or consult a prominent academic's seminal 2017 book, the historical examination: your entire mental framework is screaming it. Moderate conservatism is the crucial barrier resisting the extremist factions.

The central argument is that political systems endure by appeasing the “elite classes” happy. Personally, I question this as an organising principle. It seems as though we’ve been indulging the privileged groups over generations, at the expense of other citizens, and they never seem adequately satisfied to halt efforts to reduce support out of public assistance.

However, his study goes beyond conjecture, it’s an comprehensive document review into the Weimar-era political organization during the interwar Germany (along with the England's ruling party around the early 1900s). As moderate conservatism falters in conviction, as it begins to pursue the rhetoric and symbolic politics of the extremist elements, it cedes the steering wheel.

We Saw Similar Patterns Throughout the EU Exit Process

A key figure cosying up to a controversial strategist was a notable instance – but far-right flirtation has become so obvious now as to overshadow all remaining party narratives. Whatever became of the established party members, who prize continuity, preservation, legal frameworks, the pride of Britain on the international platform?

Where did they go the progressives, who defined the country in terms of economic engines, not powder kegs? Let me emphasize, I didn't particularly support any of them either, but the contrast is dramatic how such perspectives – the inclusive conservative, the modernizing wing – have been erased, superseded by relentless demonisation: of migrants, Muslims, welfare recipients and activists.

Emphasizing what they cannot stand for any more. They portray protests by 75-year-old pacifists as “festivals of animosity” and use flags – British flags, patriotic icons, anything with a bold patriotic hues – as an direct confrontation to individuals doubting that being British through and through is the ultimate achievement a human can aspire to.

There appears to be no any inherent moderation, encouraging reassessment with core principles, their own hinterland, their original agenda. Whatever provocation the political figure presents to them, they’ll chase. So, absolutely not, there's no pleasure to see their disintegration. They are pulling democratic norms along in their decline.
