It's worth remembering that the UK is, at heart, quite a classically liberal/small-c conservative country.
Not really appropriate for the Starmer thread but I have heard a bit of the sentiment "I wish there was an actual conservative party to vote for" recently. I suspect it's a big group, some of them are currently voting anyone but Tory, but possibly more are just voting big C conservative - so another option would split that vote.

I agree with that analysis. It's worth remembering that the UK is, at heart, quite a classically liberal/small-c conservative country.
What's really annoying is the apparent lack of traction for the argument that the population isn't being "left alone" by the government (nor can or should it be). It's our jobs that the Tories are endangering through a hardcore Brexit plan, it's our NHS/schools/care they're underfunding, it's our money that they're diverting to their mates (and/or mistresses). People seem to be unwilling to factor this in (or they just don't care).
