Being a bit of an Anglophile (which, of all the philes, is not the worst one), I’ve traveled to the Mother Country a good bit of late. You know, England, where white people were invented.
We can learn a lot from the British in many areas of life — except dentistry. We are kindred countries. In fact, we would still be a part of Britain had they not insisted on fighting us in the woods in red coats.
I happened to be in London during the recent United Kingdom elections. It was a landslide for the Labour Party, which chased the Tories (aka conservatives) from power after 14 years. The American left-wing media’s narrative was that the conservatives were beaten badly and Labour won based on more liberal ideas, as if this were a harbinger of our upcoming elections. That is not the case.
Like the U.S., Parliament rotates one party into power and one out with regularity. Political cycles are like rotating crops, but with more manure involved.
Havinggotten an earful from Conservatives who just lost their seats, I offer my explanation of what happened, and why it is probably good for the GOP.
