On a similar note, Liberal parties in non-PR systems have only usually survived by going to the less-covered ground, in Canada that was the centre-left, in Australia the centre-right, so you're 100% right on that point!

I'm glad you liked the post! I'd be interested to know what you disagreed with.
I also read your piece, I actually suspect the Tories and Reform may attempt a merger at some point, as happened in Canada, which may be why Farage stole the name.

Not convinced we should be putting companies out of business and centralising wealth even further in the name of further oppressing 1% of the population but if you want a perfect encapsulation of rightwing ideology, this is it.
