Geopolitics

While many countries are on a slope to the right of the right, it seems British are hopeful contrarians. A landslide it is.

Consequences of Brexit seem a big determinant. Yet Europe is changing, so what’s different in the UK ?

you can't say "i gave up" without saying "i gay"; never give up.

In the British sense, pretty clear.

But that seems just explaining the cherry on top. Sunak is just one more ingredient of the political recipe, like Johnson, May, blip Truss and others on their 14-year ride.

UK has only two parties that are serious contenders, so it wasn’t surpirising.

For other EU countries: there are simply not many centric parties left, many of them have moved to the left spectrum while many conservative parties have been labeled „far right“.

But then why not “switching” to the far right, as many countries across the world see happen, including the neighbour France.

“Just switching” sounds like there are only two choices, which looks the norm in the UK. In Europe, there is usually more pluralism.

The difference is UK had a conservative government over the last years while most of Europe was ruled by leftists. So people are just switching.
