The Labour Party has been running Great Britain for the last 10 months and is deeply unpopular over its failures to create economic growth, control illegal immigration and to end policies that make it nearly impossible to build new housing. (Sound familiar?)
The first local elections giving voters a chance to vent their frustration against Labour were just held, and Labour got wiped out.
The BBC reported that if those local results were extrapolated to a national election, Labour would have been crushed and tossed from power, getting only 20% of the vote.
The winner would have been the upstart, populist, Reform Party, led by our good friend Nigel Farage. It would have formed a new government with a national share of nearly a third of the votes. It would have been followed by Labour (20%), the Liberal Democrats (17%), and the Conservatives at only 15%.
The Conservatives (which don’t stand for much of anything these days) lost control of every local council they were defending.
Britain’s Daily Telegraph reported, “In years to come, it might just be that today’s election will be remembered as the beginning of the end of Westminster’s two party system.”
Now we just need to make sure that Trump doesn’t propose making Britain the 52nd state!
