I find it ironic that the traditionally more right-wing of the two major UK parties was simultaneously the first to have female leaders, an Asian leader and now an African leader I would’ve thought Labour would be setting those records
Well it's kind of inevitable. The right wing party wants to soften it's image and part of doing that is elevating minority voices who agree with the party on minority issues. In the left wing party you have the opposite problem where they want to soften left wing social anti-racist etc. policies by having a white man say them. The optics of the parties run somewhat counter to their actual platforms to appeal to centre voters.
The right wing with female leader thing isn't really that uncommon. From the top of my head I can think of Giorgia Meloni of Italy, first female PM, and part of a right wing party, and Marine la Pen of France, leader of right wing National rally
If reality came into it I would agree, but Badenoch will have much of the media and wealthy influencers on her side. Added to this, Labour have gone for longer term growth through investment, the benefits of which won't be seen until after the next election. If Badenoch is in government then, the public will view her as an economic saviour as the benefits of investment start to come to fruition. Once again the lie that only the Tories can be trusted with the economy will take hold.

The same faces get the same jobs reshuffled again and again, it’s a jobs for life program
I might be wrong as I myself am an immigrant who can't vote yet, but to me this seems like the beginning of the end for the Tories. By choosing a very right-wing leader they lose on all the centrist voters that will now go to the LibDems (and arguably Labour as it's moving more to the centre), but I doubt they'd be attracting back the right-wing voters they lost to Reform. What kind of person do they have left as a potential voter base now? Who is not centrist enough to move to the LibDems but not right-wing enough to move to Reform?
Reform isn't really selling itself as a hard-right party, it's a populist party. A lot of traditionally labour voters voted Reform this time too. The tories moving rightward doesn't necessarily bring back reform voters unless they can also shake off people's hatred of establishment politicians, and it simultaneously ensures that all the economy-focused tory voters who fled to the Lib Dems and Labour stay there. If the tories are going to stand a chance of winning in 2029, their better bet is to try to position themselves as the refuge for those centrist voters who don't like what Labour ends up doing but still want the stability of a long-running centrist party - which means they always vote either lib dem, labour or tory.

I am a socialdemocratic, but I must agree with Mussolini when he says that "the USA are a PLUTOCRATIC democracy", which basically means they are ruled by money.
These last few Tory leadership races are really showing the structural weaknesses of having such a small group of members chose your leader. Having just 130,000 tory party members pick the leader means they're inevitably going to be completely out of touch with the politics of the average prospective tory voter.
Credit to Kemi. However the Conservatives remaining generally Blue Wall/M40. Mathematically this probably won't be enough to form a government. Due to ineptitude the Conservatives lost the Red Wall which is now mainly a ReformUK/Labour trial. ReformUK is the dynamic insurgent inheritor of conservatism.
Letting his deputy leader do the interviews and answer questions whilst he goes down a water slide, plus lots of voters don't actually know know who he is, only the name of his party
I don't really have an opinion on her as a politician. But I'm baffled at the election process. It seems odd that you whittle the candidates down to two, then offer the members a vote. Jenrick beat Badenoch on MP's votes - OK not by a great margin - but Sunak easily beat Truss last time, then was wiped out by the members. Tey ended up with a PM not supported by MPs. So I'd have thought the obvious thing was to change the election method. After conference they should have put the four candidates to the members, giving them 'preference' votes so you rank them 1, 2, 3 etc. If you don't have a winner from first preference, take the second preference, etc.
She didn’t say “not all cultures are valid” she said “not all cultures are equally valid”. Huge difference. Are cultures which stone women to death and allow child marriage as equally valid as UK’s? Absolutely not. How could anyone disagree with this!?
The point isn't what she said but what she'll try to justify with this statement. It's like someone saying "sometimes women need to be taught a lesson" isn't literally/morally incorrect (everyone has a right to education) but the context tone and implications makes it misogynistic.
That statement itself is not "bad". How it will be interpreted by the far-right, however, is what makes it "bad", because it's deliberately ambiguous. A better wording would have been "cultures that don't respect human rights are less valid than cultures who do", because even though they mean the same thing, the latter is much less open to extreme interpretations.

Spain and Portugal had, respectively, Francisco Franco and Salazar
The UK saw it's very existence threatened by the III Reich in 1940 Battle of England.
All of this while the USA was an Oceans' width away from the III Reich.
3) the USA are controlled by money.
I am a socialdemocratic, but I must agree with Mussolini when he says that "the USA are a PLUTOCRATIC democracy", which basically means they are ruled by money.
This is going to send more votes to reform. Nigel garage will be prime minister in 2029
It doesnt take 100 MPs to shadow all government roles. It takes 100 people, This can be a combination of MPs and Lords (and Ladies).
I just find it funny how progressive the tories are at least in terms of representation.
Yes they should be forced to change their name.
They are trying to smooth their image with a puppet leader
These last few Tory leadership races are really showing the structural weaknesses of having such a small group of members chose your leader. Having just 130,000 tory party members pick the leader means they're inevitably going to be completely out of touch with the politics of the average prospective tory voter.
No, it does not.
Well, they are the ones that pay membership dues.
I agree with 30 percent of what was said about this Badenoch woman
She's like a short dominatrix
Shes got my vote former Labour
This will be a disaster of a move
Quintessentially Conservative.
They’ll f it up like before
10% of public servants should be in prison, can that start with her?🤣🤣
scraping the bottom really...
As a American, who is really interested in the Bulgarian election, I laughed really hard
Yeah they don’t need ppl who ran in safe districts and can win either way to be leader
Holy Ian Duncan Smith!
The tories are more diverse than a modern Disney movie.
That doesn't make any sense but okay
Can you imagine being Liz Truss. I wonder what her mental health is like 😢
I really really doubt he will last more than 2 years. It doesn't even look like the Tories themselves are very convinced about her
MPs votes split three ways, so you could say it on whenever Jenrick or Cleverly would win.
@@Hadar1991 that only makes it worse, if anything.
A black woman? They clearly don't know their target audience
Youre backwards racist
@@MO-ss5mj😂😂 Good
Really ? Perhaps they are not as racist as you think they are.
Presumably their target audience is their membership, who, y'know, actually voted for her...
Congratulations to her for being elected party leader, but this is definitely a potential Glass Cliff scenario.
@ 5:03 - and the Conservative voting base *still* wonders why they're unpopular.
Well they're screwed.
Credit to Kemi. However the Conservatives remaining generally Blue Wall/M40. Mathematically this probably won't be enough to form a government.
Due to ineptitude the Conservatives lost the Red Wall which is now mainly a ReformUK/Labour trial.
ReformUK is the dynamic insurgent inheritor of conservatism.
4:33 Hold up, where the hell is a -14% approval rating for _Ed Davey_ coming from? What sort of scandals has he been involved in???
He isn't a raging egotistical psychopath
Letting his deputy leader do the interviews and answer questions whilst he goes down a water slide, plus lots of voters don't actually know know who he is, only the name of his party
So much for the pinned comment
The sacrifical lamb has been chosen
Already talk of replacing her... Cause she can't unite party.
Why do I like more the other guys voice
*COOKED* 🤣
You know what, I support Labour
At least I don’t need to hear Sunak speak anymore
It’s hard to believe anything Soubry says, probably ended Jenricks chances!
Tories trying to play identity politics.
Don't they learn from the USA, people are sick and tired of playing that game.
I don't really have an opinion on her as a politician. But I'm baffled at the election process. It seems odd that you whittle the candidates down to two, then offer the members a vote. Jenrick beat Badenoch on MP's votes - OK not by a great margin - but Sunak easily beat Truss last time, then was wiped out by the members. Tey ended up with a PM not supported by MPs.
So I'd have thought the obvious thing was to change the election method. After conference they should have put the four candidates to the members, giving them 'preference' votes so you rank them 1, 2, 3 etc. If you don't have a winner from first preference, take the second preference, etc.
Makes too much sense, the Tories will never go for it.
She will give starmer and the labour party ten years plus in power nice one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She didn’t say “not all cultures are valid” she said “not all cultures are equally valid”. Huge difference. Are cultures which stone women to death and allow child marriage as equally valid as UK’s? Absolutely not. How could anyone disagree with this!?
Many might say most Nigerian cultures are not valid
The point isn't what she said but what she'll try to justify with this statement. It's like someone saying "sometimes women need to be taught a lesson" isn't literally/morally incorrect (everyone has a right to education) but the context tone and implications makes it misogynistic.
That statement itself is not "bad".
How it will be interpreted by the far-right, however, is what makes it "bad", because it's deliberately ambiguous.
A better wording would have been "cultures that don't respect human rights are less valid than cultures who do", because even though they mean the same thing, the latter is much less open to extreme interpretations.
@@vinhbui1858and what will she try to justify with that statement?
I do like the optimism in the ad that Americans are not so self-absorbed as to have no interest in Bulgaria's election.
Powell was right
Either way no one can stop britain downfall. Neither the Tories nor labour.
what abt reform?
@craigs_8749 same case with them as well. I didn't counted them in bcoz they will not win majority to form a govt.
@@nishantmaderna6295 At least we fully know they will sort out illegal immigration putting a strain on the public, social, spending, crime and housing.
That one hypocritical comment she made a few months back about her race isn't enough to make the Tories think twice?
Are you referring to the comment she made during her spout with David Tennant?
I think so.
She really does represent the average brit lol.
UK is so cooked. holy crap
4:33 People favor Kier Starmer more than Nigel Farage? Have the British not seen what Kier is doing to their country?
Maybe its because the British have aleady seen what Farage has done to destroy their country.
Well have you seen nigel? He's spent more time with trump than in clacton
Wait the Tories are still around?
She was not the first black leader of a major UK political party - I think that was Humza Yousef as leader of the SNP (at that time the 3rd biggest party in Parliament)
It was Sunak a year earlier
Humza is brown/Asian not Black/African.
Yousef is South Asian not black
