UK goes Tory (conservative) in a big way. A bad sign for Dems in the US?

I hope Corbin wins.

Move to Venezuela.

I think the issue of Brexit makes it impossible to use the UK election as any sort of barometer for US 2020.

Labour are forecast to have the lowest number of seats since the 1930s while that narcissistic, lying bully tightens his grip and would appear to be lodged in Number Ten for the forseeable future.

This is a terrible day. I despair for the future of my country.

It's a victory for freedom and democracy. The British people voted for Brexit three years ago despite the political establishment across all major parties telling them not to. Since then that same establishment has dithered, trying various ways to water down or avoid the separation altogether. "Remainers" have even been pushing for a new referendum, as if there would be a point to voting if the powers that be just kept holding elections until they got their way without ever respecting results they don't like.

Brexit needs to happen and it needs to happen ASAP. The tie with the US is that the American people have similarly been alienated by an establishment that's grown out of touch and even hostile to their interests. Trump is part of that rebellion, elected for various issues but the most important one being long overdue immigration reform that's in Americans' interests rather than those of corporations that want cheap labor, DNC vote counters, or leftist elements who despise American society and want it dissolved and replaced by something else.

Yet 3 years after Trump's election, while some desirable action has been taken on the economy and the courts, and while the DC status quo has been rocked in a number of satisfying ways, we've got no wall due to ferocious liberal obstruction and unconstitutional judicial activism, illegal immigration has actually increased due to Democrat-fostered loopholes and encouragement, there have been no mass deportations to put even a dent of a few million into the estimated tens of millions of illegals here, and nothing has been fixed about the system moving forward.

Instead, 99% of the media has been waging an unprecedented daily propaganda war against the president, often comical in its hysterical ineptitude, but dangerous because all journalistic standards have been discarded. And Democrats are currently pushing to impeach him out of pure partisan hatred, basically nullifying the election and disenfranchising voters, "deplorables" whom the establishment deemed had gotten uppity.

The lesson is to not contemptuously disregard the will and lives of the people whose interests you’re supposed to be serving, and, as we’re seeing in populist movements not just in the US and UK but around the world, that people actually like living in countries with distinct characters, societies, and cultures. They certainly take offense to those things being flippantly sacrificed by corrupt officials without their permission.

When income inequality begins to negatively impact the working class, there is a rebellion against it. To fight this rebellion are the oligarchs with their massive wealth and propaganda machine to keep the system in place. That is how people like Boris and Trump maintain power. Anyone choosing to fight the system has an uphill battle, not just with the system and its oligarchs, but also its massive propaganda machine working overtime to dupe low-IQ individuals.

Apples and oranges. I read that Corbyn was despised nationally. It made no sense for him to run.

Also major demographic shift in the U.S. that doesn't exist in England.

Isn't the UK Conservative Party similar in ideology to the US Democratic party?
