there is no pleasing today's Conservative Party - a rabble of factions which no longer belong under the same banner. The Right Wingers should rebrand as the English Nationalists and whatever is left try and recover some sort of credibility with small business and City. No single leader is ever going to unite this lot again

I don’t think there are many English nationalists - they left for UKIP ages ago.

What do you mean UKIP collapsed post brexit, the right wing of the party or the ERG is basically UKIP as the poster says they have been holding the party to ransom for a while. Sunak needs to purge them from the party if he is to win another election.

I mean UKIP collapsed post Brexit. Leave.eu was explicitly pro migration.

UKIP / EDL have hijacked the Conservatives, they are basically following the English Nationalist agenda

The EDL were a violent mob that wanted an English enthostate. That very clearly isn’t the conservatives who have been closer to the center than Labour has in the last decade.
