It sounds like it's not so much their general supporters, but one of these little "pretend grassroots" sub-groups, called "Conservative Democratic Organisation".
The CDO is a loose cluster of dangerous far-right opinions - not to be confused with Liz Truss's "Popular Conservatives", which is a loose cluster of dangerous far-right opinions.
Obviously, make sure not to confuse either of those with Braverman's, Gove's or Mogg's groups, which are instead a loose cluster of dangerous far-right opinions.
Where are people even getting the money to launch these groups and hold their own conferences?
Money in politics in the US is ridiculous.
Politicians here are cheap but at least it’s not prohibitively expensive to run for everyone. I know there are barriers that shouldn’t be there.
Both country have this corruption problem. The US is just further along because they have a higher proportion of crazy christians to tap into.
Can’t disagree with that notion.
Political reform is required before we get all the way down theUS-style rabbit hole.
I don't think we'll either go as far as them. But we desperately need political reform to not find out how far in that direction we'd go. Though maybe we already hit rock bottom now. Fingers crossed. The crazy rightwing stuff is a real vote loser.
