Fareed's take: What Democrats can learn from the UK election
ฝัง

- Britain's conservatives are predicted to face a wipeout when the UK votes on July 4. Across the Atlantic, Fareed Zakaria argues, the Democratic Party can learn something from Labour, which appears to be succeeding in the UK's election campaign by tacking to the center and avoiding any whiff of a left-leaning agenda that might alienate voters in the middle.

The best part about UK elections we can learn from? Their campaigns only last a few months, maybe less.
6 weeks for the one coming up.
@@richardbutler2749that’s lovely. US election campaigns are never ending. They’ll talk about 2028 before a winner is announced for 2024.
The UK also has strict campaign spending limits and regulators that closely monitor party spending.
But 6 week's is an exception
Tories are so desperate they thought that they could reduce the damage with surprised announcement
UK governments can technically have a longer campaign but the money they are allowed to spend is more limited. Campaigning can really only properly start within about 6 weeks of an election.
Election campaigns in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are very short. They last at most 2 months.
That's a lesson the US could learn.
I know right! USA election is a joke. They take more then 4months are above
It would help if the leading GOP candidate didn't start a year early because he's running to keep from going to prison. Just a thought.
But that is bad for media business.
Trust me, this 6 week campaign (1.5 weeks to go) feels like it’s gone on forever! Can’t wait to be done with it. Wish the vote was this Thursday rather than next Thursday.
And even that feels like an age. These long election periods are a hangover from the days of hustings and public debates and having to travel everywhere by horse or train. These interconnected days the whole thing could be done and dusted in a far shorter time. The main difference though between the UK and US is that the US system dictates exactly when the next election will be. Come rain or shine it doesn't matter what happens; it's like clockwork. In the UK the date of the next general election is (within some constraints) totally up to the prime minister. He or she just chooses the time that best suits their party. (Which is why the Tories are in trouble at the moment for illegal, insider-trading like, betting on the date.) We've been on an election footing for the last 6 months or so.
Agreed. It s weird Trump calling Democrats ‘radical left communists’. There are some UK Conservative MPs to the left of US Democrats.
Most US Democrats would find themselves in the Conservative party, certainly Biden would.

@@cariad4297then what do you call the trumptard Republican party?
One of the key elements of populism is to be intentionally vague. Every listener can hear what s/he wants to hear. Wich means: trying to make sense of Trumps calls is like trying to make wine from water. Can't work.
Democrats are currently radical socialists.
"How dismal it is to see present day Americans yearning for the very orthodoxy that their country was founded to escape."~Christopher Hitchens~
America is yearning to be colonised? Lol makes no sense
The US was founded to escape orthodoxy?? Never heard that before. I think they just don't like paying tax.
It’s helpful knowing it’s a small percentage of Americans that want this, definitely NOT a majority! Our Media wants a horserace. #VoteBlue
We sure do need his voice today.
How dismal it is to see present day Americans yearning for the communism that Reagan helped destroy in the USSR.
Competing for the center is textbook politicking in a parliamentary democracy, not "strategic genius". Labour is winning because repeated humiliating collapses have lost the Tories the confidence of the public. That's it. The lessons to be taken from this are cautionary tales from those failures, not that anodyne centrism is a winning platform.
Labour doesn't have better policies.
That’s perfect 20/20 hindsight from you. You should be in politics with that kind of confidence
Yeah, Fareed is smoking something serious with this.
Labours "political genius" is being the next largest party in Britain, and not being the Conservatives.
Christ, most people in the UK are very underwhelmed by the Labour manifesto, and there's potential of the Tories having a better result in the election than projected over people making protest votes to more left wing parties like the LibDems and Greens.
Truth told, I don't think there's anything for the Americans to learn from all this. Most Americans don't seem to even entertain the idea of voting for a different party, so I don't think this kind of political revolt is possible. Especially since the US is a two party system, making the choice for most US voters being either to vote or not to vote.
You forgot to mention that parliamentary elections are are nearly always won by the opposition when the gov in power has had significant failures. Also Labour only ever wins when it captures the centre-ground. It was the same in 1997.
No-one voted Tories for their policies either - its the reality of a first past the post system 😂
That's a very important distinction. The UK is Far from America.
Inflation always takes out the ruling party. Someone is blamed.
In UK the Tories actively made inflation worse, from Brexit to Liz Truss mini budget.
yeh its amazing people are too dumb to understand basic economics, just proves most people are idiots
The problem with "right" for a very long time is it hasn't really any policy. The need "charismatic" leaders, not leaders with ideas and policies. Their fight is against other people / characters, not ideas or policies. For many years, in UK, US, France etc, they don't have any policy argument or proposal. And media has played an important role in it. It's the party / politics football show. A against B. There is no policies' discution. That is boring, takes a lot of space and it doesn't get you money.... so here we are😢
Nice description! Well, they do have a policy, but they can't say it loudly ('move money to the rich').
When Europe has fallen, you'll regret this ignorance but remember someone told you so but you chose not to understand. The left has nothing real to offer, just wokeness and globalist agendas. You'll see
@@traumflugmoving money to the rich is more of a left thing these days. In the US if you look at the wealth amassed by politicians in the last decade, Democrats have made more money 10 times more than conservatives while in office. While their constituents have become significantly poorer than conservative led states. Go check the data. Its sad that our media has joined the elitist crew and everyone now has an agenda. There's no truth on the airwaves
The right in the US has one charismatic leader, Vivek Ramsaswmay, who frequently calls out his own party for not being serious or having any real policy solutions, and the corruption within the Republican Party. He is the most articulate and intelligent person they have in their party now. The sad thing is our contry has 2 horrible geriatric candidates, Trump, whose policies I more align with, but character wise, he is just horrid, a big bully. Biden, whose policies frighten me, and the NYC case with DA Alvin Bragg was politically motivated even us Libertarians see it and even some Democrats have spoke out against it. I can't vote for Biden and I don't want to hold my nose and vote for Trump. It is terrible that these two are the candidates again.
All that conservatives do is give huge tax breaks to the 1% and corporations. Trickle down never trickled down and tax cuts for the rich don't help the poor.
instead of giving the standard corporatist line of "we must move to the centre", why not actually look at what the public want, rather than banding around avoid the left and move to the centre, which makes you sound like a mindless bot? some leftish policies have very good standing in the polls of what the people want...some less so? but hey , lets keep with the cliches...and when they dont work, you can always blame the black voters and the left....that again, is very cliche standard corporatist policies :( {sighs} addtionally the labour/conservative election is nothing like the american election, we have had brexit hoving over us, and most of the policies are very close to each other from both left and right...its nothing like the extremist policies presented by the republicans :(
Did I hear "ideological woke politics"? Well, that's an allegation typically made by those who have no valid argument to counter. Which makes it so hard to avoid such politics. Conservatives can declare anything they don't like as "woke" or "ideological".
Plus many of them declare that they can take credit for the impacts that bills have had, even if they voted against it
Bill Maher is not a conservative.
I disagree.. most often they're calling actual woke politics and ideas, "woke." It's equally ridiculous how anyone these days can be labeled.. racist, xenophobic, transphobic, etc etc.. often for absolutely no reason. What are some examples you have of something being called woke that isn't?
@@SwoleTown Goes both ways, I definitely agree with it. Just because someone isn't romantically interested in transgender females doesn't make them transphobic, and just because someone wants to help the homeless doesn't make it woke
@@SwoleTown There isn't even a reasonably clear definition of what "woke" exactly is. That word gets tossed around whereever people see fit.
agreed. moving away from conservative in UK is extremely positive and exciting
Lol you weren't listening properly. The Conservative party in the UK went far left by being too immigration friendly and ineffective in governance. Conservatives are known for more competent leadership even though they're not as emotional as the left but after Boris Johnson and the new flock of Conservatives capitulated and became as woke as the left, they lost their reputation. Now The labor party is now more Conservative than the real Conservatives 😅😅😅

Center in the UK is far left in America. That’s a very important distinction.
Thank you, because I was trying to map my US political landscape to the description in this video and I was failing. I just know the terms used in UK politics do not mean the same things that they might in the US.

@@alexanderabbott7832 this “centrist” in the UK is all about responsible public spending for services like healthcare and welfare. What American platform does that sound like to you?
@@saybya To me, a USA-ian by birth, that sounds certainly like a left position of strong social safety nets plus a mix of libertarian fiscal policy. Of course, I'm sure it could also be characterized using some other language that doesn't come to my mind at this time.
Did you watch the video? Fareed just told you Labour won because they WEREN'T far left.
The ruling party was rejected in the UK out of disappointment, as so often happens. However, the Brits are bucking the tide, as the main story coming out of recent elections throughout Europe is the rise of conservatism.
So true. Respect from Manchester (UK) :)
Fareed is absolutely right.
Winning elections is more important.
Only if you stand for the right things. "winning is the most important thing" is what the GOP and MAGA stand for.
@@pdoylemi Are you suggesting that because you've got the best intentions, you must lose elections?
Exactly. It doesn’t matter how noble your intentions are if you never get elected. Starmer knows this. He also knows that the UK is a centrist country at heart and will never elect a hard left government (hence the complete drubbing of Corbyn’s Labour Party four years ago). So he’s steered the party to where most votes are.
@@henresearch
Not at all, but if, in order to win, you have to compromise all your values, there is no good in you winning. This is what the GOP has slid down to over the years.
@@robashton144how do you substantiate the idea that they’re “centrist at heart” when the center inherently is something that moves with the times
The fact that trump said he thought Farage would make a great British ambassador to the US, tells you all you need to know about Farage.

Even the Brexit Party no longer dares to say its name. They changed it to "Reform UK" when it would be more accurate to call them the "Back to the 50's" party.
Starmer is a new Macron, see where France is...
I totally agree. In 2029 We are likely to have Farage or Braverman as our PM. Starmer offers no real solution to the problems we have.

There are many systems in America that a European like myself would consider to be corrupt.
Such as, the electoral college, the lobbying system (and by extension, huge political contributions), gerrymandering, and the fact that politicians nominate the judiciary, and they are then there for life.
Also, a big no, no, over here, is religion in politics.

@@713davidh42 As mentioned, religion is not an issue in politics in the UK, Indeed, if religion or God was to be mentioned by a politician they would be considered strange, and possibly a nut job. Religion is a vote loser.
Is gun control, and the health system ever an issue in American elections? Your gun laws and health system are a couple of things that completely baffle us here in Europe.
'It is immigration stupid'. Rightly or wrongly, uncontrolled immigration will destroy any party that is seen to ignore it.
I think it's hilarious that Trump folk are always screaming about immigration when Trump has been hiring illegals for over 50 years.
The only reason for that is people’s bigotry. Yes it is dumb not to have all the immigrants go through the correct processes but the only reason the correct processes are functionally broken is due to bigotry to begin with and not wanting to open up the system to not have 30 year wait times
Once again, Fareed throws down with some wisdom. Thank you for all your insights, sir!
💙Fareed GPS
IF THE CONSERVATIVES ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF TRUMPERS THEN THIS IS GOOD NEWS.
No, it's the Farage followers that are similar to the Trump morons.
Tories are closer to corporate Democrats in terms of their politics, but arguably a little further left.
The closest equivalent to Republicans in our politics is Reform, who are pretty small (expected to get ~5 seats last time I checked (out of ~550)).
@@tweda4 And with Farage at the helm, one can only hope that it's less seats than that. To say that Farage will be the next PM, conservative leader or opposition leader, is so preposterous, it's laughable.
After reading the comments section, I feel like most viewers completely missed the message. Oh well
Disagree, the U.S. is different as stated in the video. if reform UK had never developed, the Tories would be in the same position as Trump and the Republican Party… the United States moving further to the right on immigration kills the whole “economic growth” thing they have going for them. On top of that if the UK doesn’t see economic growth for whatever reason while Labor is in charge for whatever reason legit or not whatever the right wing party is during the next election will win..the same thing is happening in France where they’re trying to manage their economy with a host of issues but the far right is gaining steam
I get why the far right winning after this UK election might be the presumption. But, it likely is the complete opposite. As our best UK polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice has said before. Us millennials here are the only G7 country not going right with age. As I guess the house prices are too high & wages are too stagnant compared to other countries, perhaps. Especially with Brexit making things more annoyingly worse, too. He said we're more socially liberal. So, we might just vote Liberal Democrat (or Green Party?) instead. Guess it'll be more like Scandinavia? 🤷♂️
@@BighomieRich It won't matter about the economy. Our best polling expert John Curtice already said us british millennials are more socially liberal & will choose between Labour/Lib Dems & maybe Greens. We're the only G7 country not aging to the right.
Yo CNN, that image of Trump giving a thumbs up at 00:09 seconds you guys sourced from Getty is like really bad AI. Trump has seven fingers on his left hand and like a weird tiny baby arm attached to his shoulder, because the proportions don't match up. Should smack Getty for that one, unless you guys are fine with using AI images for your broadcasts... I don't think you guys should personally, especially of politicians, unless they're clearly labeled as such.
Nah, Trump is just an inhuman freak
No. I know we're all looking for AI shenanigans these days, but this is legit. You're seeing the palm of his hand on the right (Trump's left hand), not an extra finger, and the "baby arm" you see is just normal foreshortening caused by the arm coming straight at you. It's not AI generated.
You might want to re-count those fingers...
@@victorcapel2755yeah, original commenter may want to see an optician. 😭
What we have learned is that in multiracial democracies, the people still want their leaders to stop immigration and serve the interests of the majority racial demographic.
That's because they take up more jobs
and on top of that economy suffer due to massive immigration lol
No. Multiculturalism is founded on an assumption of universal equality. And those who assume personal, racial, sexual or religious superiority simply can't cope with it. It feels like a downgrade, and that is what feeds their resentment. It's not about external politics. Data means nothing to them. It's all about them maintaining internal equilibrium at the expense of everything else.
Those people are easy to manipulate and easy to control. That is why populism works as a strategy. It just never works with the more noble human values, just the lowest common denominator stuff.

To me, this should be a sign to all Americans that every time a country tries a right wing government, it FAILS. There's a reason why the UK went through several Tory Prime Ministers. It's because their policies all failed. The UK is now tired of it and is going to move back toward centrism.
Importantly siting Prime Minsters are significantly easier to remove than US Presidents.
That is why both Boris Johnson and Liz Truss were forced to resign, while America had to suffer under 4 long years of Trump.

By UK standards, six weeks is a long campaign. It considered as way too long, unlike in America, campaigning appears to be non stop, often getting in the way of actually governing the country.
US politicians actually spend like 75% or more of their time fund raising.
@@jabezhane It appears that the Republican party spends the remaining 25% of their time arguing with each other or electioneering for Trump. Do these people actually do ant governing?
In the UK, donations over a certain amount are scrutinised closely, and political parties are limited as to how much they can spend on a campaign (a fraction of the amount that is spent in America). This makes the system in the UK, far more inclusive for independents.

Good analysis. The voting public is bell shaped , tapering down to the two extremes of left and right. The party or candidate that controls the middle ground , thus isolating the two extremes, wins elections. Further what the bulk of the populations wants is pragmatic policies that work and benefit the mass of the population, improving its standard of living and services.

Be careful . Poverty is just as bad in Britain. The labour under stammer will be the same as tories. The 2 party system is a massive handicap which strangles choice. British foreign policy is shaped hanging off thr apron strings of the us. The martin ford report meant to investigate black and brown racism has not been acted upon. Thr only engagement martin ford a black queen council's barrier has had is a polite cease and desist letter telling him to stay quiet about hus work. Keir stammer human rights said at the start he supports collective punishment of palestine see lbc interview with nick Ferrari. He stopped the snp having their tome to put forward a ceasefire motion because it would upset the usa. Britain like the usa had a first past the post system and like usa 2 parties are dominating the scene. And keir stammet leader of the labour party seems to to the right of the labour centre. Concerns are that this new centrist labour is worried about massive business owners donors not the ordinary British worker. So it could be tory party 2b. Footnote snp stands for Scottish national party. And the mainstream British media even the co called liberal or left media except for the english times even bothered to interview martin ford Queens council about his work which he had worked on and bern involved in chairing the investigation panel.

The origins of the term Liberal traces back to the Latin word liber (meaning “free”), which is also the root of the word "liberty "("the quality or state of being free").

tending to preserve or protect, preservative, having the power to keep whole or safe," from Old French conservatif, from Medieval Latin conservativus, from Latin conservatus, past participle of conservare "to keep, preserve, keep intact, guard..
In other words, to maintain and protect the status quo, and the establishment.
Free speech rights, civil rights, and other protections are essential to a flourishing democracy. But conservatives’ contempt for majority rule does not spring from a concern for a beleaguered minority (unless you think big business qualifies as an oppressed group). The truth is, the Right doesn’t expect a majority of Americans to support their policies, nor do they particularly care..
To defeat conservatism today, the main thing we have to do is to explain what it is, and what is wrong with it.
Q: What is conservatism?
A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.
Q: What is wrong with conservatism?
A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, liberty, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception, and has no place in the modern world.
Aren't liberals the exact same party trying to censor free speech aren't they the same party trying to remove political candidates off the ballot while the term might be right you are most certainly wrong. Originally civil rights most Democrats were against fun fact and since we're on the top of the fun facts let's also add that the founding fathers of the United States hated democracy as well as the two party system.
Gas was cheaper when Trump was president, so I'm voting for him.
Liberalx. The x is for lunacy
@@dtaylor939 So you think Trump pulled the Gas Lever to a different price point and that's that?
Big thinker you are.

This is the same UK that voted for Brexit, and they’re still paying the price for it LOL 😂
Yes...but we should not laugh...
@@emilypenfield5075 why? They keep punishing themselves out of arrogance
And they will pay for it for a long time
We've got approximately 30% of Americans in this country promising to vote for the great pumpkin. He's a convicted Felon, a rapist and and a serial adulterer. What's wrong with these people? Maybe they were the kids sleeping in class!
Why isn’t Brexit an issue in the UK election campaign? Labour has said it will not seek to rejoin if it forms the next government.
Excellent analysis, and no better source than Rory.
Kinda odd he calls centre right Reform as hard right.
This is CNN. They call moderate left far right.
I do not agree with Reform's policies at all but I wouldn't say they are hard right they are populist right. More libertarian than authoritarian
@battlep0t They appear to be moderates really. The uniparty are not happy their monopoly is being threatened.
Fareed, you don't get enough coverage. You insights are off the chart!
Trump has admitted he lost the 2020 election multiple times, most recently to the author of Apprentice in wonderland, Ramin Setoodeh.
When trump lost America lost. Look at the doddering old fool we have now.
He won
@@dtaylor939 He won by losing the White House, the Senate and the House in 2020 !!!
Are you tired of winning ?!!!

You know living in Canada it sounds familiar to what happen to our conservative party after Brian Mulroney in the 1990's when he left and they then got trounced by Jean Chretian and the liberals. The Reform Party with their origins in Alberta eventually took over and Stephen Harper got elected in 2006..
reforrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm pardy
Farage directly named his party after the Canadian Reform Party to conjure this image.
Vote Reform!!
Why?

The democrats fail to realize that Americans are fed up with their progressive policies. Let them learn the hard way.
Name one
@@QLHOOQman you must think you're smart lol let's start with build back better act which contributed to the inflation numbers rising dramatically not only that but economic policies of is as well as immigration bills for example biden's open border policies which are going to contribute to inflation because more money isn't in circulation right now more people are keeping their money one of the first things biden signed was an executive order when he was in office that Force gas companies to lower their prices however this also contributed to inflation because of the wars that he started which then allowed him to increase it and not only that but he got rid of Trump's border policies which is very funny when you realize that Trump didn't really have that bad of a time at the border just saying
@@QLHOOQ Americans are fed up with woke policies in public schools

What's more important to understand is how under most competent liberal first African American President Obama's second term United States managed to plunge straight into dictatorship and fascism so rapidly.
Obama wasnt a liberal he was a corporatist like trump and biden. And stop throwing the word fascist around when you have no idea what it means
Obama said that he wanted to fundamentally change America.. he meant for the worse.
Although there are some odd politicians in the UK, they are nowhere near as insane as so many of the politicians in the US.
Of course, there are arguments between politicians, but by and large, elections in the UK are a lot more civilized than in America. Also the system is a lot more straightforward in the UK, and in many respects, far less corrupt, and less prone to interference.
Politicians in the UK that lose don't spend years complaining how they actually won, and do not drag results through the courts.
Worth mentioning as well, that in the UK, the judiciary are not appointed by politicians, they are completely separate. And, politicians 'don't do God', and don't do religion'. In fact, ant politician that mentions God or religion is considered a nut job, and does not get elected.
Unlike in America, where this superstitious religious nonsense seem to be a obsession.
Church and state, like the judiciary and the executive in the UK is separate.
Elections in the UK, in general, are over and done with in 24 hours.
Yes, completely agree with your above points. It should be added that although each country in Europe have different systems, the points you made above apply to all European countries.
Agreed!
Ask fareed how he feels about Alcibiades Deblanc
The words “Democrat” and “learn” are oxymorons.
But Trump con tv personality “president” is ok. Get your head checked brother.
@hbgriss I'd rather have a leader who can fight through nonsense and still be on top rather than a dementia patient who needs handlers to tell him what to do.😊
Democrats are in full panic mode
@@erichskrika4041 that dudes turds barely fight their way into his diaper. Fake money, fake hair, fake wife, real diaper. Also you have the same screen name as a Twitter bot that a Spazzed out last week.
You mean politician and learn, or are you blind to the fact both parties are fucking us raw?
Johnson was a populist as a campaigner, but he was really a centrist in government, the Tories have not become very right-wing (except sometimes in their rhetoric) and are now being outflanked to the right by the genuinely populist Reform (which is not really a proper political party but a vehicle for Nigel Farage); so Labour will get a massive majority on a minority vote because the right wing vote is badly divided, while quite a few of their voters have drifted to other parties. It is all very strange, and difficult to draw any lessons from, particularly because sheer incompetence accounts more for the travails of the Tories than any real shift in public opinion.
Zakaria is a moron. Johnson exposed himself as a total fake populist.
I predict electoral reform will be a huge issue after the election.
Excellent show
I agree. I am a right of the Labour party. I voted to stay I'm not brexiteer. Going back is not an option as need to make it work. JC was stuck in yesteryear, the same party in for years is not good for any country.
It's immigration and the economy!!
The same lesson applies to the Liberal party of Canada too.
Not really, since the conservatives are using populism and would be the "bad guys" in this scenario. Afterall, this is the party that wants to limit rights such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and gender rights. Conservative provincial governments are already pushing populists ideas in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
This is why I stopped supporting the conservative party as it represents something dangerous whereas the liberals are just incompotent.
Donald Trump could escape to the Central American Swiss Costa Rica, for vacation of course.
Correction
In 2019, the Tories won 365 seats, a majority of 80. They didn’t get a majority of 365.
Nuclear and chemical weapons have been lost many times so far. Some of them are still in the ocean and if they explode we will have a shortage of drinking water. We are forced to drink irradiated and poisonous water throughout our lives, and we get cancer or other diseases. Unfortunately, the number of these weapons and nuclear power plants is still increasing in the world
Thought the U.K. was down playing Thatcher's Roll in the Political History there?!? Even eliminating her presence on Tour's Sites in the Country?!? 😉😮

Labour needs to abandon Atlanticism for a more even handed approach to foreign relations
Given that German foreign policy and economy has been seriously damaged by sucking up to Russia for cheap oil and gas, the UK abandoning NATO for the EU is not going to happen.
