Very soon, there is going to be another national lockdown, even if they call it something else. Everyone knows that. The anger up here is that we have been used for experimental purposes, in one of several expressions of the fact that the Conservative Party has not yet come to terms with who its voters now were, or with which were now its key marginal seats.
The poor are now as likely to vote Conservative as they are to vote Labour. And the rich are now more likely to be Labour voters than they are to be Conservative ones; it is just that there are fewer rich people than there are poor people, so the Conservatives are in government. Whatever else voting Conservative may be, it is certainly no longer a mark of material success. Quite the reverse, in fact.
At this rate, there is going to be a huge abstention rate among those voters who had turned the Red Wall Blue. But the people against whom they had voted will still vote Labour, thereby taking back these seats by default. Those are not the metropolitan elite. How many people up here have ever met a member of that? No, they are the local elite, the public sector middle class, by far the richest people in the New Blue communities, and the ones who spend all day controlling the lives of everyone else in them.
In each constituency in 2024, there should be one candidate, of any party or none, who subscribed to this and this. The complete list of those candidates would appear here, and anywhere else that would publish it. If I could raise enough money to be a viable candidate, then I would contest the seat where the most people had offered to sign my nomination papers. Please give generously.
