The modern Conservative party is not something Edmund Burke or Disraeli would recognise. Repetitive purges of any talent with a coherent ideology (e.g. Rory Stuart) has left the party with two of the same copy of an outdated allele.
The Conservatives have formed a symbiotic fantasy with their base. In this fantasy the most pertinent issues are "woke", immigration, trans-athletes, net zero, brexit. The last time I spoke to a pensioner they ranted for an hour and a half about the quality of the "Polish" workmanship on their indoor blinds.
Anyone participating in the real economy, and not the index-linked+3% fantasy world, understands what the real issues are; nearly intuitively.
Negative externalities and the natural conflict they create between libertarian governance and social outcomes is an interesting topic that I might cover in the near future.

You need to take a look at the SDP. Don’t ‘spend’ your vote, ‘invest’ it in the future.

It isn't living life on their terms - it's imposing themselves on others and dictating terms.
Their actions only amount to anything because they're backed up by state compulsion.
