What Just Happened in England? (ft. Connor Tomlinson, Carl Benjamin, Suella Braverman, & James Orr)

[@keithsewell8389]

The Conservative Party that Suella Braverman wants to see flourish hardly exists. Arguably she is now in the wrong party.

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

Agreed. She is in a Conservative party that needs a name change. Something along the lines of 'Labour-Lite' is far more fitting than Conservative. Looking back over the previous 14 years of Tory 'leadership' can you identify even one real conservative policy? High tax, high immigration, high beaurocracy, high state-life involvement/erosion of individual autonomy (commonly referred to as the nanny state). The list of things that prove the lie in the conservative name is almost endless.

[@adamcashin4021]

The Conservative Party is their name regardless of whether they are conservative. The Tory Party was the predecessor party, its been nearly two centuries since the actual Tory Party existed; and really the actual Tories only existed for a few decades. The name Tory was originally an insult labeled at a faction of independent MPs (Tory comes from the Irish for Pig Farmer) in the 17th century. This insult became the name for a faction of MPs but it was never a political party in the modern sense. The original Tory faction lost out on the Accession of the House of Hanover. These Tories believed in the hereditary rights of Kings and could not accept the idea that parliament could decide who the King would be (George I of the House of Hanover was selected as heir by parliament, there were over a hundred other individuals with better claims, but they were all catholic). This loss was so significant that the Tory label effectively disappeared and every MP was a Whig. Despite the Whig dominance. The Whigs were also not a party. Whig was again just another insult (Whigamore = Cattle drover). But the faction became so dominant that every MP was notionally a Whig. But these Whigs then had factions and the faction that supported Pitt the Younger eventually embraced the Tory label (more than a decade after Pitt's death) and its this Tory faction that eventually formed the Conservative party in 1834.

[@Codysdab]

I'd argue they're more like the old Whig party. They're liberal in policy whilst not fully vocally supporting leftism. Maybe they should rebrand?

[@adamcashin4021]

@@Codysdab The Tory and Whig parties were both very right wing by today's standards. They were both parties of the rich, the only difference was the type of rich person they supported. Tories were the party of the inherited wealth class and the Whigs were the party of the self made industrialists. To a lesser extent that made the Tories the party of the countryside and the Whigs the Cities. The main difference was between protectionism and free trade. The former benefits the primary economy sector, the latter the secondary (at least when Britain was the only industrialized nation). The modern Conservative party obviously includes both types of wealthy supporters (though not all) but is far more diverse in its support today; and has nothing in common with either party.

Immigration is a symptom, the root cause is your demographic issue. You are not having children. Now this is not unique to the UK. It is occurring across the world from Jamaica to Thailand. This is why there is this pressure to have all this Immigration because despite what people say, they still want their pensions funded, they still want access to cheap labour, they want access to services. But no one wants to has the guts to tell your people that they are the reason why. Instead, your government triple locks pensions (how will the younger, smaller generations pay for it no idea), takes out more debt to pay for the elderly population and leave the bill for the future.

nuclear energy is up to six times more expensive than renewable energy. The EIA estimates that the initial capital cost (overnight cost) of a new reactor is $5,339 per kW, or $5.3 billion for a 1000 MW reactor. Financing cost, long construction periods, and escalating costs can push the total cost well above the overnight cost. we know how there is a construction and they say it will cost this much and than the price in the end will be immensely more, somehow government building jobs turn more expensive in every country. isnt that strange?

Conservatives lost for a variety of reasons. But they lost so badly because of Liz Truss and her budget. Most Conservative voters are naturally going to be in favour of tax cuts. But they are also strongly in favour of the economy. Truss' budget hit the economy so bad that even high earners like myself were actually worse off as a result of the tax cut. My Pension pot investments lost 20% in the aftermath, and if I'd not locked in my Mortgage payments, I'd have seen those costs increase by 30%. In addition the £ fell against the $ to record lows causing significant inflation. In comparison the tax cuts were tiny, a few percent off, even for the ultra high earners the losses out-weighed the gains. For high earners such as myself it was a tax cut of a mere £30 a month, when compared to the impact on investments, inflation and potential increases in mortgage payments saw many in my position down tens of thousands on their investments and worse off by hundreds of pounds a month on their income. Practically everyone lost out. Tax cuts can stimulate the economy if done properly. But this cut left everyone poorer, because Truss ignored the economy and sacked the advisors who warned about the negative impacts.

[@Mitjitsu]

I don't have a problem with major tax cuts, but unless you're selling off state assets and doing serious cost cutting. You can't be making such offers to the electorate. Truss did that, kept all the same spending that was in place and decided to fill the shortfall with government borrowing. It's not wonder what transpired afterwards.

[@adamcashin4021]

@@Mitjitsu I actually disagree a little bit. You can cut taxes without funding, you just have to take the markets with you. If you can convince the markets that cutting the tax rates will actually stimulate the economy to such an extent that tax receipts will actually rise (and then vitally it does actually slightly work) it can be successful. The Tories spent 10 years successfully increasing tax thresholds without spooking the market, at first this came with spending cuts, but eventually it was just a tax cut. These threshold increases were so regular that when they announced that they were not continuing the practice it was reported as a tax rise. Trusses tax cuts could have worked at a different time; but the fact is the Tories had abandoned the rising of the tax thresholds because the markets were no longer willing to accept an unfunded tax cut as sensible. It was the wrong time to cut taxed. Truss was simply too dogmatic in her approach. She had only a hammer in her toolbox and sacked anyone who advised that a screwdriver was needed instead. Ultimately the Tory party were rightly blamed for allowing Truss to become Prime Minister. The electorate did not vote for radical economic change, the fact that they couped her so quickly is the only reason the party still has any MPs left

The sharp move of Carl Benjamin, Reform, and much of the UK conservative movement to borderline socialism, anti-business, wokeness is worrying. In the UK, immigrants and ethnics academically and economically outperform ethnic English. The UK is having a large backlash and growing resentment and jealousy against successful ethnics and immigrants from across the political spectrum, albeit worse from the woke, left and Labour. 67 out of the UK's 146 billionaires are immigrants. If current trends continue; probably soon the vast majority of UK billionaires, millionaires and elites (angel investors, VCs, private equity, I Bankers, consultants, senior corporate executives, co-founders, technologists, scientists, inventors) are likely to be immigrants, children of immigrants, grandchildren of immigrants and ethnics. Why is this so strongly opposed in the UK? Why is the vast foreign ownership and influence over the UK capital stock a problem? Especially if this ownership and influence is coming from the free democratic world? The UK is in danger of developing an indigent ethnic English underclass subsidized by immigrants and ethnics. Similar to the Bumiputera phenomenon in Malaysia. Because of this, any major reduction in immigration is likely to sharply lower UK per capita income ceteris paribus. Why isn't the UK doing a hail mary of K-12 education reform a la Michaela Community School to dramatically socio-economically and academically raise ethnic English and other lower performing UK students? Where is the massive effort to surge the birth rate? To encourage positive platonic friendships, family relationships, marriage, children? The net effect of the UK's problems could result in the UK having a lower per capita income than Malaysia, Greece, Panama and Portugal. My hope is that the Uk responds by promoting self-actualization, perfection, excellence, freedom. And by sorting immigrants a lot better. A war on crime. Reducing illegal immigration. And by sharply lowering the UK's mass outflow of emigrants and brain drain and millionaire drain to the rest of the world. (The UK has lost a net 8% of millionaires over the past decade. the US has gained 63% net millionaires over the past decade.)

[@AnAn___]

@@SquareNoggin " @SquareNoggin 4 hours ago Because the purpose of politics isn't just to maximize GDP?0" This is true. But this is more true in the USA than the UK. The USA's per capita income is 60% higher than the UK's per capita income and perhaps will soon be twice the UK's per capita income. African Americans have a higher per capita income (albeit more inequality) than the UK--and the outperformance of African Americans versus UK residents is growing over time. Similarly, the UK is poorer than South Korea per capita. And if current trends continue might soon be poorer than Malaysia, Greece, Panama and Portugal too. The UK is in the middle of a continuing socio-economic collapse led by falling academic and socio-economic outcomes by young ethnic English. The UK is losing her ancient culture and civilization to wokeness, mediocrity, and anti-meritocracy culture. This is terrible for the UK and the world. But to turn this around, this needs to be acknowledged. And kids in K-12, GCSE, A levels, need to do a lot better. The UK needs to get her self-confidence and mojo back. In addition to economic revitalization, self-actualization, perfection, excellence, the UK may also in my view consider the following priorities: a) revitalizing and restoring ancient English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish culture and civilization (Stonehenge civilization, Celtic, Durotriges, Regnenses, TrinovantesIceni, Atrebates, Belgae, Iceni, Cantiaci, Catuvellauni Dobunni, Dumnonii, Roman, Angles, Saxons, other Germanic tribes, Norse, Norman, French, Magne Carte and the post Magne Carte civilization and culture) b) resisting the global woke movement in close collaboration with the rest of the world c) resisting the global conservative sunni islamist movement in close collaboration with the rest of the world d) resisting the influence of the communist party of china in close collaboration with the rest of the world Notice that the last three priorities cannot be done by the UK alone. The UK needs to join a global alliance to deal with them. To emphasize, the UK might have the most conservative islamist jihadi adjacent, takfiri adjacent sunni population in the world. Worse than almost all muslim majority countries. Long time immigrants are worse than recent immigrants. 2nd generation worse than 1st generation. 3rd generation worse than 2nd generation. The UK should with humility acknowledge that she has incubated a massive sunni islamist problem at home that she can no longer deal with. And then beg the rest of the world, including the muslim world, to help deradicalize and save UK muslims. Specifically ask MBS (Saudi Arabia), UAE, Egypt, Morocco, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Indian muslims for help. And ban the entire shadow shariah movement and emerging blasphemy laws before it is too late. It is easier for muslims in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Indonesia to criticize islamism than it is for muslims in the UK to do so (because of the threat of anti-defamation and hate speech restrictions on freedom of speech.) This comment is too long. But I could go into each of the five priorities that I think the UK should consider emphasizing. Economic revitalization I think would be the easiest of the five to rally around and implement.
