    Impossible to do so with an ethnic minority leading the conservatives. Racist/right wing britons won’t vote for an ethnic minority to be prime minister.

      Lol. The Conservatives didn’t lose because Sunak was brown.

      People are so desperate to call out racism that they’ll just start imagining it in places it isn’t. 😂

            Ok, and the election results has the sample size of … just shy of 11 million right wingers. They said that they’d rather vote for a white man with little chance of getting in due to being a third party over having a brown man in charge.

            How do I jump to this conclusion? The radio caller confirms what we know from being exposed to these kinds of people, and the election is quantitive proof of it too.

              People didn’t vote Conservative because they’d consistently failed on everything they’d promised for years. If Truss was still leader instead, the defeat would have been the same.

              You’re talking bollocks and trying to find racism where isn’t any.

                4,117,610 million right wingers voted for “conservatives but more racist” and they’re out there making it about race. yeah, sure, I’m the one jumping to conclusions.
