Apparently its meant to 'placte' the Right Wingers. As a self-pronounced (Far/Dissident) Right Winger then only thing likely to placate me at the moment is nooses with necks in them, hanging from every lamp-post in SW1. What planet are these people from/on?

We could say the same about you. Given that the world you wish to live in has never actually existed. Certainly not in your lifetime. Except maybe in your dreams. Oh it has. I was alive at the time. Not sure how old you are but this country has gone down the crapper at an increasing rate over the last 50 years. What I see these days I never thought could happen in my lifetime. It is a dystopian novel realised.

What we really need to do is get rid of universal suffrage. Limit voting to those over the age of 25 and with a property and/or service qualification. Voting should be an earned privilege, not a right.

Rishi Sunak has turned his back on true Conservatives. I have just been informed that droves of Conservative members have turned their backs on him by joining 'Reform UK'.

Under 25's are invariably morons. I know I was.

They are from planet, 'out of touch'. Sunak has decided to rule in his own image during his last year. These people ultimately only really care about themselves.

We need a base of truer conservatism to keep up the pieces after Labour are done collapsing what's left. Labour are going to make even a wet like Sunak look like the good times and we need to remake conservatism in time for later in the decade.
