The guy is completely ignorant of the UK, apparently. He holds that rightism has been completely ineffective against progressivism, not realizing that Thatcher basically pulled the UK back from being quasi socialist in a decade. After I realized that, I stopped listening.
to be honest calling the labour party under blair socialist in regards to their economic policy would most likely trigger most economic leftist. And i say this as an extreme economic rightist.socialism
I think he might have been talking more about in recent decades, or maybe he considers Thatcher as having failed, given how hated her name and policies seem to be these days?The guy is completely ignorant of the UK, apparently.

There has been no conservative party in the UK since Thatcher, and pretending that a liberalist party won't work when it does work in the UK if there is an option is the height of stupidity. My guess is the rest of his video is complaining that individualism doesn't work, and other tired tropes, when it actually does sell, there just isn't a party selling it.I think he might have been talking more about in recent decades, or maybe he considers Thatcher as having failed, given how hated her name and policies seem to be these days?

It's why I believe Nigel Farage's Reform UK stands to do quite well in the future. People are sick of Lib/Lab/Con and want something different (ironic, given that the "different" they're after was actually the norm before everything went wrong in the 20th century).
pictured here said man who caused said century to go completely wrong.
FUCKING.
S E R B S.
As it turns out, creating a healthy, competitive economy and getting taxes down are quite popular with voters. The only reason Brits vote for "socialism" (or at least things that lean that way) is because that's usually all there is on offer from Lib/Lab/Con.

You can't really say in one breath that England has not had a meaningful conservative force in it for 30 years, and in the next breath say that that suggests a great deal of conservative power and effectiveness. At the very least your leaving out the middle explanitory step.
Like the French believing they would have won The Battle of France if but for one general's mistress, or their leadership was just cowardly.
I mean...that's not wrong. The French had a very large army, along with superior tanks in greater numbers than the Germans. Like the British, they were more mechanised than the Wehrmacht, but their leaders were complete fuckwits. Then there was the matter of having the whole of Southern France to regroup in and hold whilst they called up their vast armies of colonial troops. There were options, which the French elite pissed away and bent over backwards for Hitler to fuck them.
