    As Clinton said: "Its the economy stupid"

    Brexit has failed to achieve what was purportedly
    its objective according to the Pommy Working Class
    that voted for it..
    IE: Stop the influx of immigrants (taking jobs) and
    give the Government independence to manage the
    economy better so that working class poms would be
    better off.

    That didn't happen because:.
    - Brexit lost some EU trade
    -Brexit didn't stop the migrants
    -Covid impacted jobs/wages
    -The Ukraine war caused inflation negatively impacting workers

    Result: change Government ....not a move to the Right.
    The Poms have been there, done that.

    PS: While RW spruikers are lauding the seeming RW move in France,
    IMO the French working class simply wanted a change of Government
    per se rather a conscious "step to the Right"

    In other words both elections are "better the Devil you don't know
    than the Devil you know (ie current Government)
