I was just thinking, will the Conservative party take the same path as the Republicans and merge with our MAGA? Or, will their encounter with Boris Johnson be enough of our MAGA?
That’s still to be seen. If their next leader is Suella Braverman then they will lurch right but, apparently, her support is ebbing away and there are a lot of Tory MPs highly-motivated to stop her winning the leadership. However, it comes down to the membership who previously picked Boris Johnson and Liz Truss to lead them, so anything is possible.
Yeah, Boris did gut the Conservatives of any moderates over Brexit. Without them, they will have the devil’s own job moving centre-ward.
For them it’s a catch-22, the current make up of the Conservatives make it a hostile environment for moderates, but they need them to bring the Conservatives to the centre. The right will need to cede power for that to happen.
That’s up to Murdoch
