It’s still Blair’s fault for many though, somehow.

2 events in 2010 put us on this course. Unite changing the outcome of the 2010 Labour leadership election and Nick Clegg betraying the Vote for Students pledge.

Clegg’s decision destroyed the Lib Dems and made this country a 2 party political system, just as they had become a serious moderating force in British politics with 10% of the seats.

Unite’s backing of Ed Milliband over David put a man who only won the support of 70/635 constituencies and an unelectable buffoon in charge of the opposition and created this rift between Labour’s party and electorate that lead to the Corbyn civil war and made them totally unelectable and ineffective as an opposition party.

Without those 2 things, there’s no UKIP, no Brexit vote to appease the UKIP conservatives, no Brexit and we don’t get every serious conservative politician deserting or bypassed for Boris, whose only selling point was that he would steadfastly commit to getting Brexit done no matter how bad the fallout or how incomplete the agreements were - despite it being widely known that he didn’t support Brexit personally.
