Very nice, spot on....exactly the same in the U.S. with a permanent, leftist, administrative state subverting any real attempts by elected conservatives to enact their policy agendas.

I just found this post. Wow! Nailed it!

Here in the USA, I've watched the insidious creep of progressivism for decades. But the acceptance by progressives of banana republic politics, as practiced by Biden, was totally unexpected. We stop it now, or we are the next Soviet Union.

On point as per usual Graham. And I think you identify one of the central impediments to change. That the first step to solving a problem is to acknowledge you have one. But by acknowledging this problem , any right leaning executive simply highlights its own lack of power. We need our own Long March maybe.

I cannot disagree with your final point. I think a blunt declaration this is fundamentally broken would actually be popular. I cannot see it happening with mainstream parties but it would be a superb rallying call for one of the fringe parties like Reform.

Handled right it could be the ultimate judo move. Use the impossibility of Labour or the Tories to fix it because they are part of the same corrupt system. It needs a new sheriff in town etc.
