    The Leave Referendum and what happened during it and afterwards to the Tory party is a great lesson of what happens when a mainstream rightwing party starts adopting policies of the far-right.

    (The present day Tory Party is far-right by continental european standards, only headed by posh twats rather than the more traditional rabble rousers).

    Should be a lesson for similar parties in the rest of Europe, IMHO.

      It was. A lot of right wing loonies in the EU dropped their leave the EU stance because everyone around the EU saw what a stupid and annoying thing it was to leave.
