The Labour Party came into being as the political arm of the trade union movement, as the political arm of the working people of Britain.
It then had a kind of transmogrification and has become the party of the intellectual elites, of the intelligentsia, the university-educated people.
And consequently, you know, non-educated to high-level people have been left high and dry because the agenda of the intellectual elites is to despise the nation-state, to despise the West, to despise Britain, and to want liberal universalism, transnationalism, and so on.
So that's Labour having abandoned the people.
And then you have the Conservative Party
which never was very good at thinking about anything at all, being composed traditionally of extremely stupid people.
And then, you know, it just saw this great sort of cultural change coming at it.
And it decided to throw in the towel.
It said it couldn't stand up against it.
Nobody could stand up against it.
You couldn't stand up against cultural change.
And they bought into it.
over successive conservative prime ministers, successive conservative administrations.
So the people were literally abandoned.

Well, I suppose that's all that matters, really.
Yes, this is true.
