Britain's bad example for American conservatives

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Cameron resigned after the Brexit referendum, merely to be replaced by another Tory leader, Theresa May, who had also opposed Brexit.
61% : If Johnson didn't know where to take populism after Brexit, the party as a whole had absolutely no idea where to go after the COVID scandal toppled Boris.
55% : An economically globalist, socially liberal Conservative Party was Cameron's dream: He was the prime minister who gave Britain same-sex marriage.
51% : The Tories treated Brexit like the end of the story, when really it was just beginning.
50% : Cameron allowed a referendum on Britain leaving the European Union but campaigned to remain in it.
49% : Without Brexit, Boris Johnson was just another David Cameron, socially liberal and more interested in green regulations than blue-collar jobs.
48% : The voters wanted Brexit.
48% : But that was it: Johnson had no other populist cards to play beyond Brexit and his larger-than-life, almost Trump-like personality.
46% :Not until the party finally embraced Brexit wholeheartedly with Boris Johnson as leader did it reap the electoral rewards of being on the popular side of the issue.
46% : Johnson delivered Brexit -- and the 2019 landslide.
21% : But Republicans, including Trump, are in danger of winding up like Boris Johnson if they merely react to populism and nationalism, instead of charting a future beyond voters' present discontents.
