Once upon a time, it was a big tent, tactically flexible party that believed in limited government, balanced budgets, and traditional values. Today, it is a party of radicals dedicated to two things: victory in a culture war against half of the nation’s citizens; and tax cuts for the wealthy under all circumstances, even if they will lead to higher interest rates and inflation.
Is it the Conservative Party or the GOP? The Truss government is proof that the two are converging, which is bad news for the UK.
