  • Not wholly convinced but do get your point.

    I'd argue the aims and achievements were regressive (or rather anti-progressive) rather than progressive, which I think is the domain of conservative values.

    I mean, the idea of a conservative revolution is not totally unprecedented

  • Idk if you can pigeonhole Brexit like that.

    It is undoubtedly a Conservative Party product. But until after the referendum plenty on the left viewed the EU as an white Christian capitalist imperialist force for evil.

    Every conservative neoliberal print media organisation was dead set against it.

    Calling it one way or the other just depends on your bias.

  • Not denying the existence of support for Brexit in some liberal / left circles, but at the time seemed coopted/opportunistic rather than driving the (£350m a week) bus.
