    He should just go. It’s become a distraction and it always ends the same way. Clinging on damages politics and pushes people towards populists who offer you the opportunity to have your cake and eat it while but actually just making things worse. If Nigel Farage gets in we will end up like America. High time we had proportional representation so people stop strategic voting or voting to make a point. Reform mostly did well just because they are not Labour or Conservative, not because they are actually a good choice.

      Hate to break it to you, you are ahead of America in the run to fascism. I didn’t think you would beat us there but here we are. Obviously not in all respects, you lack a blowhard leader starting foreign wars. But did cancel the magna carta to a large degree, outlaw disfavored protests, created a masterbaitorbase, age checks incoming (as part of secret social scores, have fun with that,) what else, bad faith proscription of protest groups, courts disallowing defenses to serious decades long offenses for protesting climate/the environment that let them be acquitted.

      Cancelling the Jury Trials though, for up to 3 years in prison, wow. Just wow. Jesus Christ.
