It is hard to imagine anything more orchestrated than the elections in the United Kingdom, with the predictable handover from a conservative billionaire financier to a labor billionaire lawyer. Both are warmongers, ultra-liberalists, anti-Russian, and supporters of Israel. The skin color differs (Sunak is of Indian origin, Starmer is a typical Anglo-Saxon), the rhetoric slightly varies, but everything else remains the same. If we want to stay within the right/left opposition, which is increasingly inadequate to understand our world, we must note that in England there has been a resounding defeat for the conservatives, not a victory for the labor party. In terms of real votes, those that old communists encouraged considering to evaluate the effective consensus of political forces, the labor party has confirmed the result that five years ago was considered poor, while the conservatives have suffered a real collapse, losing almost a third of their voters.
The electoral system adopted in a country can reward a party in the distribution of seats but cannot grant it the consensus it lacks. The reality is that Britain is experiencing an unprecedented crisis. The country that a century ago dominated half the world and fifty years ago was still the third-largest productive power on the planet has been reduced to living off finance and services. The English football league is the best in Europe, but the healthcare and pension systems are being dismantled. Sooner or later, the chickens will come home to roost, and even the English will have to face a situation that is not much better than that of Italy.
