The British people are nearing a revolutionary mood, or so it seems. Such a mood they expressed, this year, on the day associated with the American Revolution: the Fourth of July.
In the British general election of July 4, 2024, the UK’s Conservative Party got its worst-ever result. A specter now haunts the land, a specter of a White ethnonationalist political-force willing to act in concert and punish those who betray it.
The new oft-ethnonationalist political-bloc is no single party, no niche movement. It is psychological. It has declared itself the enemy of the Conservative Party (and vice versa). The cordon sanitaire is broken. Just as we have seen elsewhere Western Europe. Britain, a late-comer to this game, has finally arrived. Welcome.
The results I give in popular-vote terms:

The table, my own, shows the magnitude of the anti-Conservative political revolt. The scale of vote-shift may not seem like a lot, but there are many reasons to take these results as a major milestone, as will become clear in this essay.
____________
Again to fall back to the Fourth of July connection: The UK’s Conservative Party has long carried the nickname “Tories,” the name as used by the pro-royalist faction of British politics in centuries past. In the 1770s-80s, the “Tories” were opposed to the independence movement by the North American colonies, and every American will have heard the term “Tories” in history class to refer, at least, to anti-independence residents of the North American colonies.
The July 4, 2024 election date was set by the Hindu-Indian-origin prime minister, Rishi Sunak. What an interesting alignment across time. The 1776 incident associated with that date was an anti-Tory revolt; the 2024 election back home, associated with the date, was likewise an anti-Tory revolt.
The Fourth of July 1776 is the day associated with the American-colonial delegates signing a “declaration of independence” against British rule. It was for independence, for securing control of their own future. With this 2024 version, much the same could be said. Another way to see this is that Britain now rules itself using a quasi-imperial policy, except applied domestically. The revolt is by those who demand independence, and in Britain’s case it is against steep odds. But we may now be at the cusp of it.

The UK’s Conservative Party of recent decades is an outright bad political party, which exists by merit of inertia. Its objectives seem to be: managed decline, generally; White dispossession; helping refugees over natives, and helping LGBTQ’s over White-British families; a post-Western(ization) cultural policy; a subservient foreign-policy as part of a globalization posture by which Britain and its global influence is a useful ally of, and sometime-host to, wealthy transnational elites and dual-citizens. (It was, alas, quite appropriate that the billionaire Hindu-Indian, Rishi Sunak, became prime minister in 2022.)
The Conservative Party, though, will have you know that those poisonous fruits they will assemble and distribute will have a moderately-lower toxicity, and the entire process of poisonous-fruit distribution will be carried out with an air of dignity and class. Keep calm! Carry on! You can still be proud to be British.
A large share of the Conservative Party’s own voters are now intent on “destroying” it, if possible, as a useless impediment. They impede the emergence of revivalist posture. A fresher or nimbler opposition could achieve great things, but the Conservative Party cannot, will not. People sense this. Know this. Feel this. But for years there has been minimal organized action.

“Labour wins in landslide,” said the reports. It’s true that the Labour Party won 411 of 650 seats (63% of seats), but saying it that way really completely misses what’s happened here.
The “Labour landslide”-type headlines are a technically-accurate but dumbed-down or smoothed-over form of reporting. Much like the output of an AI rewriting system: It churns out something that’s probably okay, often sort-of accurate, and probably ‘palatable,’ but that often “misses the point.”
I haven’t seen a good graphic showing what the real point is, so I put one together (above). (Not all numbers are guaranteed to be final as of this writing.) Even my graph fails to drive home how significant it is: those voting for Reform-UK knew well that they could well be, and often would indeed be, “spoilers,” splitting the anti-Labour vote. This happened in hundreds of constituencies, leading to Labour’s 411-seat victory.
But Labour lost votes in absolute terms (from 10.3 million in 2019, to 2024’s 9.7 million)!
How can this be a mandate-delivering victory?
Just what is going on here?
The true story is that of the collapse of the Conservative Party. It was a “jailbreak” by large numbers of White-British kept penned inside a cordon sanitaire for years, for decades, for generations.
There is a secondary story here, too: an anti-Labour inner-revolt, which softened support for them. This one was of lesser scale, and will have minimal impact on the makeup of the new government. But it is still politically significant and towards the end of this essay I’ll discuss it, too. This left-wing dissident revolt was associated the anti-Israel, pro-Palestine protest movement. It is most directly with the Workers Party of Britain, which was only competitive in a few places. The nationwide 0.4%-share for the new Workers Party is misleading. In an open field, they could get easily 10x that number of votes, maybe 20x that number or more, depending, if Labour continues to hold its pro-Israel line.
In an anti-Conservative wave election, we’d expect some centrists to ‘by default’ drift to Labour. But that didn’t happen, on net. The reason: Many voters of nonwhite immigrant-stock, but especially Muslims, turned against their beloved Labour Party, over the Gaza war, and as a vote of no-confidence in the Keir Starmer-led Labour Party’s pro-Israel position.
The British political equilibrium had not one, but two crises, one from each flank to deal with. By far the bigger one comes from the Right (Reform-UK), in that a number of troublesome White nobodies and losers out there got the idea — the gall! — to think they could harm the venerable, the mighty, Conservative Party.

_______________
British decline and the attempt to destroy the Conservative Party
We see a large ‘net’ move away from Conservatives; and towards two sources: (1.) towards the soft-ethnonationalist Reform-UK party; and, about equally, (2.) towards Non-Voters.
What you’re seeing there is White-British fury at ongoing immigration policies, and the troubling sluggishness of the British economy that has the UK economy middling along. Measures of GDP per capita at purchasing-power parity suggest the UK is 15% to 25% below its peers in Northwestern Europe, and groups more with Southern-European economies.
In absolute terms, the early-2020s economic situation for the typical Briton is not much above the 2007-08 peak before the Great Recession. Fifteen lost years. A steady inward-flow of migrants and refugees all the while, amid other ongoing managed-decline policies.
Anti-White domestic and cultural policies pervade the air, and people know it. The most-honest commentators on the British election tacitly acknowledge that this was a big factor in the unprecedented “jailbreak” attempt that was this election. Those who, being already-dissident commentators and who therefore have a free-hand, if they have a sufficient supply of courage, will say this openly. It was a White revolt against a bad political party that does not represent its own voters.
One unspoken reason, so the whispers went, is that most White-British don’t want to be ruled by a non-British-origin “brown man” like Rishi Sunak, no matter how much of a smooth-talker he may be. He was never elected by voters. He took power in whatever the parliamentary equivalent of a “palace coup” would be called, in late 2022. Some thought he could be the first-ever sitting prime minister to lose a seat in an election, over the centuries of British electoral politics. This didn’t happen, but in recent weeks the Conservatives are slamming for “racism” the anti-Conservative voters who went for Reform-UK.
One of the Reform-UK candidates made sensationalist headlines for saying that the British war-policy in the 1930s-40s was a big mistake, that the UK should have accepted Germany’s offer for a cooperative alliance, avoiding most of the thing called “World War II” as we, inheritors of the Western narrative, understand it. This candidate said: how much better off we British people would be without that damned war. It’s increasingly hard to argue with, but it still counts as a taboo (the candidate was removed and banned from the party).
Britain has become an increasingly racialized culture, which coexists with the long-run erosion of the default White-family norm of yester-generation, and which now exists primarily in the memories of those of retirement-age. One finds many little signs of this throughout the West, but any say the UK is the worst-off of any European country, even worse than France.
A big sign that the thing was already fully formed twenty years ago was the degree of triumphalist pro-“Black-male, White-female” romantic-relationship propaganda that dominated the 2003 British romantic-comedy movie Love, Actually.
Jumping ahead fifteen or so years, to the end of the 2010s, the same cultural-force was symbolized by Prince Harry’s ties to an adventurist mulatto from Hollywood, California. Harry and ‘Meghan’ met in mid-2016, married in mid-2018, and brought in mixed-race children born into “royal line,” mid-2019 and mid-2021, with Meghan cultivating vendettas against the other royals back in England. By the early 2020s we see shows show as Bridgerton, which place Blacks as the most-dynamic figures of early-19th-century British aristocracy: a blatant recasting and multi-racialization of history that was bound to come eventually.
Meanwhile, the pipeline of new migrants and “refugees” has continued, with big surges in the early 2020s. People have for decades voted for the Conservative Party to prevent this very sort of thing. That is true ever since Margaret Thatcher coopted the National Front’s pro-White momentum.
Conservative Party voters, or those who were coopted to vote Conservative despite leaning National Front in the 1970s-80s, or the BNP in the 2000s, or those in tune with similar political currents that didn’t actively contest elections — they believed the Conservative Party would limit migration. They believed the Conservatives would keep the excesses of postmodern left-wing anti-White policy to a healthy minimum, whenever possible. But nothing like that happened.
The rise of Boris Johnson, a classic demagogue and narcissistic self-promoter (prime minister, July 2019 to mid-2022, when forced out by his own party), did nothing to reverse the negative trends. Nor did the tenure of Hindu-Indian billionaire Rishi Sunak (prime minister, Oct. 2022 to July 4, 2024).
In many ways, both Johnson and Sunak are emblematic of certain trends that the Conservative Party, as traditionally understood, is supposed to resist or block. Certainly the policies they ran are generally not traditionally “little-c conservative” nor “capital-c Conservative.” Something had changed at the core.
The commentator Millennial Woes, of Scotland, wrote this in July 2023, summing up UK political changes of the past thirty years:
“[By the late 1990s or early 2000s,] the Right had no choice but to “become” the Left. To use Britain as the example, this was the moment when the Conservative Party concluded it had to become a clone of its opposition, New Labour.
John Major’s 1993 “back to basics” campaign, lauding traditional values, was now unthinkable and would never be revisited. From [ca. 2000] on, the Right would compete with the Left to be more left-wing.
On cultural issues, to be even weakly right-wing was now seen as unacceptable… [T]he Conservative Party increased mass immigration from 2010, introduced gay marriage in 2013 and promulgated trans identity politics in the late 2010s.”
[End quote from Millennial Woes, Substack entry, July 2023]
At some point, a cumulative few-million White-British had “had enough.” Something finally ‘snapped’ broke within the managed system with the Brexit vote of 2016. As so many things are, the Brexit referendum was not really about what it nominally was about.
I have written in earlier essays here of the political-science concept of the cordon sanitaire. Certainly the Conservative Party of the UK has been involved in “running” one. It has done so with success for decades. The 2024 election’s anti-Conservative uprising from the Right is the biggest-yet “breakout” attempt out of the cordon sanitaire by those penned up inside it.
The relative success of the rival Reform-UK party is itself not about Reform-UK as a party, or Nigel Farage as its charismatic figurehead. The party soaked up a few million of these disaffected voters. But it was not cause. It was the effect. Reform-UK was a convenient vessel for protest-votes. To make a statement, to demand a realignment of the kind essentially fully blocked out for a generation or more.
Yes, the revolt of several million White-British against the Conservative Party is all the more amazing because it occurred in a highly mature, long-stable political system. It occurred in a system which, as everyone knows, has two dominant parties and a few extra parties on the margins for something like spice in the soup (little regionalist entities) or even a degree comic relief. These “other” parties are without any in-system right-to-rule. The entire government system of the past century is supposed to be a hand-off between Labour (or “New Labour,” since Tony Blair) and the Conservatives. The default ruling-party, which largely sets the tone, being the Conservatives.
But the two parties came to largely resemble one another, a process also seen elsewhere. A common refrain heard from insurgent Reform-UK supporters was: “Yeah, maybe you can convince me that Labour is a notch or two or three ‘worse’ than the Conservatives, but the Conservatives are so bad it doesn’t much matter, those two or three notches.” This is remarkably similar rhetoric, and disaffection, as seen with the Trump-MAGA movement adherents of 2016.
But it should again be repeated: Party-identification in Britain, with its proud and long-stable political system, is associated with identity markers such as region, class, family-tradition. It is almost as strong and as sticky as ‘football’-fandom.
An Englishman surely doesn’t lightly change which football club he is a fan of. Come what may, he tends to stick with his team even if they annoy him. It’s “his” team, after all. Likewise, such a man will not lightly change parties, much for the same reason. But here we have more than half of those who voted Conservative in 2019 refused to do so in 2024, even knowing well they could deliver a lopsided supermajority to “Labour” in doing so. And that was the point.
_______________
The “#ZeroSeats” campaign was but a dream
There really was a conscious campaign to destroy the Conservative Party in 2024, in case you think this is my own idea. It became known as the “#ZeroSeats” campaign. Ex-Conservative voters tried to rally people to the cause of destroying the party by saying they had that as an achievable goal by voting Reform-UK, or really by voting for anyone but Conservatives.
Nigel Farage, the charismatic and slightly demagogic head of the Reform-UK party, also said it was his goal to hurt and destroy the Conservative Party. He and others argued the party was useless, so why keep it around like some Frankenstein-monster?
The “#ZeroSeats” campaign of 2024 was always more like a “less than 75 seats for the Conservatives” campaign, realistically speaking, because statistically some seats are so “safe” as to be untouchable, the mass-democracy equivalent of the “rotten boroughs” of yester-century.
There are 650 seats in the British Parliament, so the goal was to put the Conservatives around 10% of total seats, if possible. It would be a humiliation that could trigger the dissolution, or hostile take-over, of the party. But “#ZeroSeats” didn’t succeed to the level of its supporters’ hopes. The Conservatives end up with 121 seats of the 650 [19% of seats]. Still a heavy blow (as of July 3, they held 344 sears [53% of seats].
A few quick glances at some who held seats:
The Hindu-Indian billionaire and now-ex-prime minister Rishi Sunak held his seat. He says he wants to be in the British Parliament for years to come.
Also holding her seat was one of Suella Braverman. She is one of Rishi Sunak’s co-conspirators who maneuvered to help Sunak’s late-2022 seizure of power and ascension, without a popular-vote mandate, to become the first non-White British prime minister, courtesy of the Conservative Party’s machine.
As for Suella Braverman, a slick political actor skilled in the usual ways that South-Asians are with politics and influence, was reelected Conservative Party parliament-member. She is also a former top-level government-minister, and is not someone to dismiss. Her story is also symbolic of the political mood of the moment.
Suella Braverman is of Indian-subcontinental ancestry. Her father, an Indian-diasporic living in Kenya, arrived at Heathrow Airport in February 1968 and stuck around, later meeting another Indian-diasporic immigrant who had been born in Mauritius and arrived in the 1970s separately. Braverman is said have had ties to Buddhism, possibly via her mother. But her true identity is something else. For one thing, Suella Braverman has a wealthy Jewish husband. She boasts proudly that she is raising her mixed-race children Jewish, and boasts of having in-laws who are in the Israeli military, making her children dual-citizen-eligible with Israel.
Suella Braverman is exactly the kind of multi-national elite that grates on the nerves of some millions of British natives. Never moreso than when people she, and many others, lecture the White-British on how morally superior elite-immigrants are. She is more British than the native-British! (One detects the seeping-in of toxic U.S.-Wokeness and immigrant-supremacist ideological influence here).
After the parliamentary-coup that elevated Hindu-billionaire Rishi Sunak to the venerable prime-ministership of the UK in late 2022, Suella Braverman, who had maneuvered to take down the previous prime minister (Liz Truss, White-Christian without dual-citizenship), was given the plum ministerial role of home secretary, one of the most-powerful roles in the UK government and like a turbocharged version of the U.S. government’s attorney-generalship position. She held the role for thirteen months (late 2022 to late 2023), but may be back in the future. She is only 44 (born April 1980). Who knows, when her two growing Jewish children are old enough to go serve in the IDF themselves, she might be able to maneuver right back to the top. Her position was considered untenable after the denounced Palestinians and praised Israel, in late 2023.
Suella Braverman survived the great anti-Conservative wave, somehow. She lost about one-third of her votes to Reform-UK, which was not quite enough to knock her out of parliament (final result for here constituency: Suella Braverman [Conservative] 35%; Labour, 23%; Liberal-Democrats, 19%; Reform-UK, 18%; others, 5%).
More than half of the heads leading the Rishi Sunak government ministries (or “departments,” as Americans would put it) lost their seats outright. Government ministers tend to always be in “safe seats.” They also benefit, typically, from prestige-gains by heading the government ministries (name recognition, at least). That eleven of the twenty-or-so government ministers lost their seats outright, through the anti-Conservative revolt, is without any precedent. Not in living-memory, nor even for many generations before living-memory. It’s hard to imagine a precedent for this. Maybe something like the English Civil War of the mid-17th century.
The new ministerial lineup, appointed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, includes eight White-males of Christian origin, though several are firmly pro-Jewish (the anti-Israel wing of the party having been suppressed). There are thirteen who are not White-males.
The powerful foreign secretary position (foreign minister) is now held by a large-bodied Black male named David Lammy. This is a man who gloats about being Black-and-proud, says White Britain has a moral-duty to accept Blacks, and has suggested he identifies as “Black” first, “English” second. He has a white wife and three mixed-race children.
David Lammy (b.1972) benefitted his whole life from Black racial-preferences, and achieved great heights. He is no dummy, having graduated from Harvard Law in 1997. David Lammy’s parents immigrated to Britain from the former British crown-colony of Guyana, considered culturally part of the Caribbean. His father had ties to England as early as 1956, but apparently went back and forth. His mother arrived in 1971, and he was born the following year.
David Lammy is in the Labour Party, but it’s not really so hard to imagine him in the Conservative Party of recent times. He is more like a transnational elite than anything, and his Blackness buys him substantial extra-points on that front, much like Barack Obama, under the ruling ideology and cultural-policy in force in the UK. Lammy’s transnational ties are the lion’s share of what put him on the path to managing British foreign-policy which he now does, nominally and legally speaking.

People hate the Conservative Party now. A fair share of White-British associate both the Labour and Conservative parties with certain types of failure, economic decline (almost everyone is relatively worse off), cultural decline (White ghettoization), Muslims, refugees, an ongoing and hard-to-quite-define Third Worldization process from both bottom and top.
Third Worldization is a slow process, comparable to what invariably occurs to a paper bag that gets wet, becomes damp, and eventually loses its core functionality and can cause some big messes. Already there plenty of visible results.
The protest-voters who went for Nigel Farage’s party engaged in a concerted political jail-break attempt. Large numbers who declined to participate: 40% of eligible voters declining to vote! A record-high, they say. Is it a sign:
Conservative Party delenda est?
If the Conservative Party cannot be ‘reformed,’ is this not an idea whose time has come?
____________
For those interested in White-Western ethnonationalist-revival prospects here in the dawning mid-21st century, the British election of July 2024 is worth attention.
The strategy, so-hoped by some, is to replace the not-quite-sunk ‘Tory’ ship with something more like the anti-regime soft-ethnonationalist-oriented opposition. This has wide precedent in European politics. It is not some crazy idea equivalent to belief in alien spaceships. It is realistic, with the right will.
Of course, people said much the same about the BNP in its mid-2000s to early-2010s heyday, seeing one year better than the last for a five-or-more-year span running, and they allowed themselves to dream. The BNP completely imploded in the early 2010s, and nothing more was heard from it, though it’s years making headlines and attracting attention and energy helped inspire much that came after.
This time, there might just be something to it all. The BNP never achieved what Farage and several million friends have just done. Much now depends on Nigel Farage, an alcoholic, smooth-talking political gadfly.

The lesser revolt by the Left, over Israel
Given the new huge parliamentary majority for the Labour Party, there is unlikely to be a new election anytime soon. The new prime minister, Keir Starmer, could absorb a substantial intra-party revolt, given the size of his majority. He could just wave it away. He is secure.
A few words on Keir Starmer may be in order. The big narrative-level story here is clearly the story of the anti-Conservative revolt or “jailbreak” as I’ve called it (a quite-fitting analogy, I believe). There was also a smaller, similar phenomenon on the Left: A revolt by a core part of the support-base. It has to do with Israel’s cruel war in Gaza.
That the new Labour prime minister, Keir Starmer, has Jewish children is interesting to note. His wife is a highly active and political woman of Polish-Jewish origin. It is said that her grandparents emigrated to London, from Poland, in 1929. Presumably, it was easier to get into the UK at the time. (The USA had taken firm measures to severely restrict Eastern-European Jewish immigration in the early 1920s.)
(Of Joe Biden’s grandchildren, there are also a large number who are Jewish. Trump, the same. And, strangely, the same also for the Clintons. The U.S. and UK seem to have that in common. A near-125-year-old nominal alliance, and a substantial overlap in political-traditions and civilizational-tradition. But now, with new ‘actors’ involved in managing this alliance, directing it. Quite large numbers of the alliance-managers are “transnational,” in a sense that would have disturbed the men of earlier generations.)
Some tried to stage a campaign to not vote Labour, as a protest against Israel and Israel’s Gaza war. The knew their direct candidates would win very few seats, if any at all. (And alas they won zero.) But it would be a way to exert pressure on the ruling forces of the Labour Party, a way to say “your pro-Israel, pro-Jewish Power positions are not going to slip past us.” It was the same sort of idea as with the going on, at much-larger scale, with the disaffected White-British who either refused to vote or went wit Farage.
One thing to understand about Labour, and similar parties elsewhere, is the heavy degree they now rely on Nonwhite votes for any prospect at power. Extrapolating from one polling-based estimate, up to one-quarter of aggregate votes for the Labour Party in the UK now come from nonwhites. A large supermajority of Blacks vote Labour, and majorities of every other nonwhite, non-European immigrant and racial group also behind the party.
A substantial politically-committed faction of Muslims who by default vote for Labour withheld their votes, or voted for other parties. The same goes for some number of White-British Leftists outraged by British support for the cruel Gaza war. This is probably what lay behind the -1% all-population vote-share for Labour (seen in the table) when, as mentioned already, we’d expect at least some of the anti-Conservative voters to drift into Labour by default (low-info, committed centrists). Any such effect was cancelled out by the left-wing protest-vote against Israel.
The Workers Party of Britain is a central actor here. A new party, the Workers Party is led by anti-Israel, left-wing political-star George Galloway. The party-leader had the best result in his party, but failed to get a seat which he had earlier won in a special election, again on the strength of the pro-Palestinian protest-vote.
The next-best result for the Workers Party was an activist known as Jody McIntyre, who has cerebral palsy and has been wheelchair-bound his whole life. Jody McIntrye nearly won the seat on an anti-Israel platform, striking an unusual posture for a populist politico what with his storming onto the scene being done in a wheelchair and with his involuntary shakes of the body from his condition. This unlikely hero, Jody McIntyre, stole half of the Labour vote in the constituency. He ended up losing only narrowly: 31% for the Labour candidate, to 29% for Jody McIntyre on his anti-Israel platform. The delightful scene of a wheelchair-bound cerebral-palsy White man aligned to something called the Workers Party of Britain, as Member of British Parliament, was not to be. For now.)
Muslims are not enough of a political-force in Britain to really move things when they try to act in concert and shift their votes as a bloc. But the White-British generally can do it.
(UPDATE: See a substantial comment below analyzing the results of the Muslim Vote and the Jewish vote. Exit-polling survey data, it turns out, aligns very well with what I’d written here.)
What the Left made some ‘hay’ about but failed to deliver in force, the White-British did do. That is: stage an uprising with serious political consequences. I’ve called what the White-Right did here a “political jailbreak attempt” (though the British spell the word “gaol“). The heavy blows dealt to the Conservative Party were the result.
Both sets of risers-up (the anti-Israel protest vote on the Left, and the all-hands insurgency-attempt against the Conservative Party) did have some results, even though the “managed system” remains. The disaffected White-British people did not win in their goal of destroying the Conservative Party. But they did have enough power in their hands to seriously hurt and even humiliate their jailers, those who staff and supervise the cordon sanitaire, those who have kept the system buzzing along, decade after decade.

Political brushfires, insurgencies, building: The century is young!
The British people have finally started some political brushfires. Their cousins on the European mainland have been lighting such fires for years, as I’ve occasionally written about in these pages. That applies to Germany’s AfD, and to the current goings-on in France. The French so-called “Far Right,” most especially the large soft-ethnonationalist party associated with the name Le Pen, is a decades-long project finally seeing some success in the 2020s. British politics never quite managed to get a similar long-term presence, despite the great enthusiasm the British National Party attracted in its heyday.
A cynic will say that the huge anti-Conservative Party revolt of 2024 will be forgotten, just as the native-British population is sort-of forgotten in its own country, is systematically disadvantaged within its own country, and is subject to a hostile managed-decline program and a hostile cultural-policy and all the rest.
It’s unclear what the gadfly and populist behind Brexit, Nigel Farage, will do with his small parliamentary bloc of five seats, knowing he has some degree of support from something like one-half of White-British, highly active support from a politicized element of the Right, maybe one-in-three White-British who have interest in politics. The system is stacked against them strongly, and everyone knows it. Which makes this jailbreak attempt all the more remarkable.
Nigel Farage had ties to the Trump-2016 campaign in the USA. He is more morally serious than Trump but perhaps not quite morally serious enough to really reverse the Third Worldization process. Some are wondering what will break the dam on all this, if Farage really is that man, or could be the man. I don’t know. We do know that Reform-UK appeals to Whites disaffected with all that’s wrong. But it does appeal to White-British overtly or explicitly. Overt appeals to Whites, electorally, in the mid-2020s are not going to meet with success. But one wonders about what would happen if a fully proportional-representation system were introduced.
Ask them why; they’ll tell you readily enough: The Conservative Party simply outsources its ideology and policy to a softer version of the Left. Native White-British continue to be marginalized and slowly dispossessed. Migration continues. The White share of the population is locked in, by this system, on a generally-permanent downward slope, not always individually but definitely at social scale.
For fourteen years running, these people have run the British government, but on most everything they were elected to do things are worse off. Enough people know it; enough asked, Just what is the purpose of the Conservative Party?
Polling suggests that in about mid-2022, an anti-Conservative cascade began to roll through British politics. Not all at once, but steadily. For two years, it rolled through the system and White-British on the Right “radicalized” against the Conservative Party and committed themselves to the task of destroying it.
Some of the “#ZeroSeats” campaign people have expressed real disappointment that Reform-UK didn’t gain more seats. And that the Conservative Party, despite it all, still took 121 seats [19% of the total]. The results were not strong enough towards the goal of destroying the Conservative Party, they say.
The Scottish commentator Millennial Woes had this to say about the results, reflecting many of the views I’ve quotes:
Some thoughts on the election…
Four seats for Reform is outrageous. This is exactly what happened with UKIP years ago. Now that Farage is an elected MP, maybe he (and others) will campaign for a change to the voting system. I think this election is, more than anything else, an indictment of [the “First-Past the Post” system of running elections].
The Conservative Party didn’t receive nearly as much damage as was predicted (including by the mainstream media). Thus, the blue cheek remains and will duly support the red cheek. This is a huge disappointment. It is tempting to blame Peter Hitchens, but realistically he doesn’t have that much influence. The real culprit is just the perennial cowardice of conservatives to break from the norm. It seems that what most of them did in this election was, not vote for some other party, but simply stay home and not vote at all, which handed victory to Labour by default.
It was an election against the Conservatives, not for Labour, but it will be interpreted as the latter. As a result Labour will do what they always do — but that is also what the Conservatives did for the last 14 years. Whether Labour will be any worse, I’m unsure.Given the way our system works, it seems highly unlikely to me that Labour will get only five years. Realistically we are looking at ten years, maybe even fifteen. To put that in perspective, by the time this new government ends, Tony Blair will either be 81 or 86.
After that, will it finally be time for Reform? Farage will be 70 in 2034, and possibly Reform will have been taken over by someone younger and more ballsy. But, by that time, memories of the appalling 2010-2024 Conservative government will have faded, and I can seethe public voting the Conservative Party right back in.
But that assumes that nothing happens between now and then to shift things — and, of course, things will happen. This new Labour government will be operating alongside a European Continent that is far to the right of where it was in 1997-2010, or indeed 2010-2020. In addition the geopolitical situation means that Britain is not going to be as prosperous as it was under New Labour. Even today, as Starmer celebrates his victory, the media are not attempting any remixed “Cool Britannia” feel-good nonsense. Everyone knows we’re in for a rough ride, includes the lefties. Labour inheriting this mess from the Conservatives will probably turn out to be a poisoned chalice.
Good.

The worry is: the revolutionaries might give up on the fight. Some of the givers-up might think it’s all been successful enough, others might think it’s not been successful enough. Both reasons to slacken up.
More time passes, more delay, more water under the bridge, more migrants and refugees, more natural population-contraction owing to the low fertility-rate for full-White British, more Rishi Sunaks and Suella Bravermans, more David Lammys, all grinning and gloating about immigrant and nonwhite moral-superiority over what degree of ridiculous losers the White natives of Britain have become, and how they need elite-migrants to manage and rule them, etc., etc.
To the White-British pessimists who hold something like the above views, I say: look to the European mainland. This is something that many-a haughty Englishman has often disdained to do. But there are many examples over there of successes of the kinds you, in the UK, need and can achieve under your own power. White-Western men have run political-insurgencies or “jailbreaks,” of various levels of success, within hostilely controlled systems. The 2024 election anti-Conservative revolt need not be a one-off affair. The century, friends, is yet young.
