We tend to look at politics through the lens of a battle between the Conservatives, who usually win, and Labour, who sometimes win...

...and it's just about party politics within the UK.

That model of thinking is now completely broken.

There is no battle.
There is only one party.
The rest is window dressing.
It boils down to who has the most money and uses it to control government.
Perhaps my view is simplistic, but in 50 years I have never been proved wrong or had reason to think differently.

Reading Rory Stuart’s book Politics on the Edge on the political system in the uk clearly shows how badly our government is broken and in need of wholesale reform

So base political support on policies rather than partisanship.

As The Who sang..."Meet the new boss same as the old boss"

Absolutely! I've said for a decade now we need a new party that is focused on young, compassionate, environmentally aware, working people who understand the games plutocrat elites are playing but who are also aware of the objectives of autocratic regimes too.

So, well beyond CONS vs LAB...

The argument is flawed, it's conservatives vs liberals. The reality is that the issue is the people at the top vs the people at the bottom. The challenge though is the guys at the top have somehow convinced some of the people at the bottom that they are the same.

Politics is no longer divided between Left and Right.
Now politics is divided between Fact and Fiction.
Trump is Fiction.
