In regards to the left and progressive politics in general, we know they hold power at the moment.....indeed, they held institutional power even during Tory administrations and those Tory governments are rightly guilty of going along with....and in many cases approving of and selecting social liberal and progressive leaders into all these power positions.
Also, lets not forget that not only did the Tories go along with this.....they were advocates of it, all while quietly selling the opposite to their base. It was May who approved of stop and search being stopped, literally referring to racism....knife crime went up, I still can't believe that so called Tories did this who are still bigwigs in the party.
However, this progressive political governance, in many instances isn't in lock step with the beliefs of most of the country....We saw this even with Labour's own heartlands in the North, they really don't like the anti white and immigration political fetishes that most of the middle class lefties and fruitcakes adhere to.
Some may ask why did the Tories do this? Well, it's because they want power and Blair defused power away from government and into the institutions and committees and made it hard to unravel the system. So the Tories 'went along, to get along', rather than say do what Dominic Cummings wanted and reshape the system....this is the Tories MO, they are careerists rather than true believers like say...for all her pure neoliberal faults....Thatcher was. Half of them have eyes on cushy jobs after politics and that doesn't involve making enemies with corporates and the important people within institutions many of which will also be a part of the corporates they will need to work with.
All of this just illustrates the wide gulf in interests between the normie or commoner on the street like you and me and the what the concerns are in the corridors of power.....often these people aren't there on pure merit or ability but on subservience or loyalty. It's a gradual but serious decline in elites over many decades now.
Below I'll link to AA who points out in this short clip to remind anyone on the right or dissident right that it's actually you who are the more normal one by just not supporting their politics. It's them who are the extremists not you, never accept their frame because believe me, it'll just carry on inching leftwards.
It isn't you who supported a system where a teacher gets jailed for refusing to affirm trans idealogy with children or someone gets jailed for silently protesting an abortion clinic. The people who create these laws are the extremists......Nothing like this has ever existed in this country before them....never forget that.
