In this episode, recorded on the evening of the 8th October when there were still three candidates in the Tory leadership race and everyone expected James Cleverly to make the final two, Jim and Chris discuss the degree to which the British political system may be showing signs of realigning. With Reform functioning as an apparently irresistible magnet dragging the Tories ever further to the right and Labour seemingly moving into the centre right ground being abandoned by the Conservatives, do we just have a shift rightwards of the two party system or a fracturing of that system? And does this open up space for a new party or grouping of the left? To what degree does the situation in the UK mirror that happening in Europe? And could a similar thing happen in the US? Questions, questions. We might not have the answers, but we sure can fill an hour talking about them.
We'd love to hear from you -
