These people, the Tories and Reform have no principles other than one - to gain power. One minute they are enemies, maybe in the next they merge - for the sole reason that they cannot win alone and winning is all that matters.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.
Opinion | Banning Abortion a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes
Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.

For people who use 'Marxist' as an insult, this is a simple explanation. Conservatives and the extreme Right only like to use this adjective as an insult because they want to discredit the truth around their own greed and lack of empathy.`
