A lot of it is down to history and generational brainwashing, people who lived during the Thatcher era here like to larp as working class communists even if they're middle class as fuck and they're often brought up to hate Conservatives by their own admission. Except of course the Conservatives here are probably more left wing than your average liberal in the U.S. because they're desperate to get the left to like them.
Which is really pathetic, ignoring the noise of the mainstream media, the impression I get from friends there is the public would vote on mass for an old school Victorian bastard that went 'I got a solution for migrants, blow up the boats'
