The Conservatives are abandoning their principles in their pursuit of power, but there will be a reckoning

The far right does not seize power. It is invited in to power by mainstream conservatives, who boast of their commitment to free societies. They do it for partisan gain. They do it because they hate and fear the left more than they hate and fear the far right. But most of all they do it because they have run out of ideas. The energy and the votes appear to lie with radical rather than “respectable” conservatives.

I hope the reckoning is soon. From an ex Tory voter.
