Their first past the post voting systems HEAVILY favours the establishment parties.
It's a similar issue that happened in France, they don't need to 'cheat' like in the US, the system is designed in such a way to shut out emerging populist parties.
Put it this way, in America you can still turn it around through an election with pressure and vigilance.
In a lot of Europe, normie programming has to break to where bodies pile up on a daily rate and authorities are targeted before enough pressure is there to change.
The European system ensures a new third reich happens because unlike the US and other countries, there's no pressure release valves to discontent.
I watched Seattle burn during the Covid riots, and politicians lead rioters to each other's houses. All of those politicians are still in power.
Heck, right now all of my lefty friends think we'll have a fourth Reich with Trump. The weird part is it's all middle class white people from around the world who think this. They can't see their own evil, even if you show riots, deaths, and incompetence.
Labour didn't win, the Tories lost. With luck, proper conservatives will complete the pivot to Remain by next election and leave the husk of the Tory party to rot.
2019 was Labour's worst defeat in 100 years and in 2024 their total votes actually went down. In the time when Tories went from 14 million votes (2019) to under 7m (2024), Labour went from 10.3m to 9.7m. Keir Starmer's own constituency returned him with 37k votes in 2019 but under 19k in 2024. Any suggestion of Labour having popular support is a lie.
I thought people in the UK were fed up with being overrun like this. How did Labour win?

Dang. So there is little hope? I mean not like America isn’t free of election issues. I’m glad I live in Texas at least although that could turn blue
There is but it'd take a FULL revolt to happen.

So Brexit didn’t go through?
The UK would have to import some "proper" conservatives for that to work, since they currently don't have any.
Labour didn't win, the Torys simply lost their voters.
Looks at the numbers for labour from this election and the one 5 years ago. Iirc the turnout wasn't even 5% better.

Wow, I didn't know that. That is fucking brutal.
People got sick of the conservatives and went with the new party (reform?) while normies stuck with the tories so the vote kinda got split in a way.
Plus labor won the cities
You think reform will grow?
