It was very foolish. It wouldn't raise a lot of money. So I don't think he's managing anything. I think they are just living out this fantasy of now we're in charge and now we're going to have a real socialist government. And he's run into trouble very quickly because that stuff doesn't work anymore. It never did, but it's definitely not going to work now.

Well, first of all, the first five years were a liberal conservative coalition. We didn't win that election. Okay. So there is a myth that we've had 14 years of conservatives- in power. You've had 14 years of conservatives in office. The first five years, it's actually liberals and conservatives running the country together. And then there's another three years where we have no majority.

So let's start with that.

No, no, no, no. We have to take responsibility. But I'm setting some of the context that quite often we didn't always have the power. Do you remember when I was talking about making concessions to the left? We're making concessions so we can stay in office. we'll do this law that's not very good because we can get the votes on it. And that's not how to run a country.

But to the point that you were making, why have we ended up where we are? It is increasing the size of the state and thinking that regulation is the way to solve everything. And it's often very hard for conservatives to explain this well. When we talk about deregulation, people think, oh, you're taking away our safety net, or you're just going to let cowboys do whatever they want.

But that's not really what it is. It's about... Making sure that people can carry out enterprise in a free way. Getting rid of regulations and laws that are holding people back, that aren't working.

So leaving the EU should have been a way of breaking out of that and doing things better or differently and having a competitive advantage.
