The elephant in the room in this video is that there’s no definition of “right wing”. The authors recognise that there are different conflicting ideologies in the Conservative Party (some argue for and against greater economic freedom for instance). Which one is the right wing one? Related to this, the meaning of “right wing” has changed deeply over the last 50 years, how does it make sense that someone is more right wing that Thatcher? What is the criteria?
Right wings definition in left wing circles policies that make the wealthy richer and the working class poorer. But most conservatives call "left wing" what i dont like.
It's kind of ironic that the Tories, a Party of perverts, rapists, deviants and sexual predators, have a massive issue with other people's gender choices. It's like Jimmy Saville criticising your baby sitting skills.
Remember that labour MP who told victims of the Rochdale grooming scandal to "shut their mouths for the sake of diversity" acting like none of the mentioned above also havnt been members of the labour party with the exact same scandals is just intellectually dishonest and casts aspertions that conservatives are somehow more evil than other people, that's not how you treat people in a democracy
i think the reason why he's the most right wing pm since thatcher is because he's so detached from reality and can't relate to the common people due to his immense wealth and his upbringing
No it's because these are populist policies which people wanted implemented years ago. They're only being implemented now because he's terrified of losing the next general election
On economic terms, the main right/left distinction is probably private vs public ownership. Every government since Thatcher's has either privatised something that Thatcher didn't, or retained thr privatisation of earlier governments. So on economic grounds, it's probably true that this is the most right-wing government ever. On social/"cultural" grounds I'm not so sure, despite all thr noise they are making about "culture wars" issues. It seems more like we have moved left so far and so fast that people are mistaking "some people saying things the would have been mainstream and uncontroversial a few years ago" for a swing to the right (or even the far right).
'We should treat people like criminals for existing and put them in concentration camps until we can ship them off to be tortured' would have been controversial a few years ago. Now, it's mainstream. Because the Tories have been pushing for it for years. Despite the illegality. So, no, you're spouting bullshit.
Because thats the only thing we can be "left wing" is whether we can oppress certain groups or not as long as they aren't refugees. Next we will be left on wether furries can publically marry dogs as the government brings back conscription.

I'd argue almost identical to the Tories now. The Tories only have culture war stuff to attack Labour on. Same policies. Kid Starver is a tory in red but people consistently say he isn't....
Seriously? What is your evidence for this ridiculous statement? As Labour presented a more and more left-wing platform, the Tories had the scope to move further and further right, as the centre ground was abandoned. Do you really think it's a coincidence that the most right wing governments have achieved power against the most left-wing presented Labour oppositions? The more right wing tories of Thatcher were eventually defeated by the centre moving Labour under Smith and Blair (so it took them two elections the trajectory was clear). Opposing a centre field Labour government the tories had no choice but to move back to the centre - today's tories wouldn't have even beaten Gordon Brown's 2010 Labour I am quite sure. Cameron's coalition presented a relatively moderate program (though it was a lie), but against the more left-wing Milliband they could move to the right to head off UKIP. in 2017, May's tories went further right against an unpopular Corbyn, before Boris Johnson managed to get an unspeakably right-wing government (the same one we have today don't forget) in only because voters were afraid of a radical left Corbyn. Now that Starmer has moved the party back to the centre, the tories had a choice to either move back to the centre and put up a fight, or abandon the next election and move further right. They chose the latter, they will lose, and they will continue to lose until either they move back towards the centre, or Labour drift very far off course (and start ignoring voters like they did in 2019).

I’m sorry but you can’t call people libertarian when they crackdown on protesting and those laws are used to arrest people for simply protesting the head of state and they are then later released essentially saying they broke the law but didn’t really do anything wrong… they might be economically right wing but that doesn’t make them libertarian. Both Labour and the Tories have an authoritarian leaning to them, people have recognised for years how much government oversight we have, not just nanny state regulations which are sometimes necessary but sometimes genuinely scary rules like vaccine passports, new labours mandatory ID, new labours anti terror laws, the snoopers charter, and the anti protesting laws all of which have been opposed by the Liberal Democrats and surely any Libertarian would certainly oppose those too?

"The Most Right Wing PM Since Thatcher?" Thatcher was a liberal leftie compared to this lot. 1) She was strongly in favour of the EU, and was key driver behind the creation of the EU Single Market 2) She was strongly in favour of freedom of movement. Especially for ex-Iron Curtain countries because freedom of movement was the one thing they didn't have that they desired the most. 3) She helped get the Montreal Protocol through, banning ozone destroying CFCs. Without her driving the UK and the US to sign up we wouldn't have an ozone layer today 4) After that she spoke out against climate change caused by rising CO2 levels. 5) She also believed in liberal leftie principles such as the rule of law and the idea that no one no matter how rich and powerful should be above the law.
Non of those things are left or right wing subjects. People make the assumption that not wanting to be in the EU is right wing which is a nonsense. It's a thing that straddles both sides hence Jeremy Corbyn. Regarding basic parts of the environment, humanity only until the last 100 years has bothered to care about it; since then seems both sides have given time to the issue. When it comes to radical stuff like climate change then that's a left wing issue. But basic environmental things like protecting rivers and ecology is a universal goal regardless of political persuasion in the public.
It's narrowing the gap between the parties to allow himself to be more relatable to right wingers while alienating to us on the left who unfortunately have no other significant party to represent us

Well Stamer is an unabashed centrist. He doesn't really offer an alternative to the right wing, instead choosing to honour the post-Thatcher Blairite status quo, similar to how the Tories did with the post-War consensus until Thatcher. Corbyn, also he has his own issues, was the only Labour leader since Blair to offer a real alternative but the centrists pushed him out
@@artoriastheabysswalker It cant be forgotten that Corbyn returned the highest vote share for labour in a decade in 2017. Literally only 2% less than Thatcher when she achieved her largest majority. Only 3% less than Tony Blair in 1997. In other words our voting system is f*cked.

Good video, but I think it's an oversight re: trans stuff to not mention the new guidance for schools. Blocking the scottish act was grim politics, but their guidance is going to compel teachers to out their students to parents, which is going to endanger some trans children. Equally, the fact that a conversion therapy ban has been stalled because the government wanted to ensure that they didn't prevent trans conversion therapy is a chunky one
it's oh so cruel. trans care practically does not exist in the uk they know have no leg to stand on, nothing TERFs or conservatives say about trans people is true. none of it. but they do it anyway because they're hateful. transitioning is safe and completely normal and nobody with any relevant medical credentials can disagree. transphobes could not be more wrong if they tried. it upsets me so bad
Yeah, the conversion therapy ban is a joke now. You could've built at least two Shards and most likely three empire state buildings in that time. How long does a "good" bill take? it's also a dead bill with their attached consent loophole too.
Lots of TLDR's videos equate right wing with the far right. These two positions are nowhere near each other, as is the case with the left/far-left. The comments section is even worse. I loathe Rishi Sunak with every fibre of my being, but to call him right wing is a joke.
@2:24 "[a member of the govt] explicitly stated she [didn't want people to break laws]. This is something the UN said amounted to stoking xenophobia." That is a real clown world statement right there; I think you've oversummarized to the point of misinforming viewers.
Could you guys please fix your audio levels ? It has been going for weeks now accross all your channels. The outro volume is several points higher than the video, the intro has that issue too. Some is clearly not aligned correctly.
Kinda horrible when you think about it. We have had 2, maybe 3 including Johnson himself, of the most conservitive prime ministers that have been in power due to an election that was won almost entirely because of Brexit. Pretty sure everyone who switched blue for Johnson so he could get Brexit over and done with wouldntve voted for Truss atleast
Can you please stop using the meaningless phrase ‘Right-Wing’? It means something completely different depending on who you speak to, as you well know. For example, Margret thatcher was called a conservative when in reality she was a liberal. Free-trade and small government is not what a conservative would necessarily want, e.g a conservative may want a larger military etc
The migration policy is quite unfair, to put it mildly. It’s inhumane to treat asylum seekers in such a way- the integration of immigrants within the society significantly depends on how they are treated: like humans or subhumans.
Personally, I think Sunak's immigrant background rather helps his right-wing policies. If you're going to pursue right-wing policies, especially when it comes to conservative social values, the left is much less inclined to call you a racist/sexist/lgbt-phobe when you're a minority. So he can push those issues with more aplomb.
@@finnlawrence-knight221 a reminder too that transphobia has been scientifically linked to higher suicide rates in trans people, who could've possibly guessed that constantly denying someone's existence would cause them to not want to exist?
Never heard or seen anything from Sunak that suggests he understands the world outside his very cosseted, rarefied life. His natural sympathies are with the seriously rich, and seeing the world through that lens tries to shape society to fit that worldview. In short, he lacks common humanity and that characteristic manifests in all the plans and decisions he makes. Callous, arrogant and condescending, he has no conscience about the long-term impacts on the peoples, soil, sea and air of these Isles.
Prime ministers time in office should be measure by "Truss" measurement, every prime minister that completes same days as truss can be called "1 Truss days" in office
Most of these things are just him undoing or not fulfilling previous changes that by any reasonable standard would be judged as left wing, despite being proposed and put into place by the Conservatives. So if anything, you could say he's marginally returned to conservatism, given the Overton window has shifted so much that gay marriage and net zero have become part of what his party supports. Even then, your example isn't him undoing gay marriage, but preventing a radical change to self-ID concerning transgenderism, so again this isn't backsliding, but simply preventing a progressive aligned agenda from being fulfilled. He's the most right wing PM since Thatcher only because his predecessors started leaning to the left in line with David Cameron's approach. Ironically, the one place that isn't true is with regard to the economics Thatcher was renowned/hated for; David Cameron's austerity was to the right of Sunak's soft-keynesian thinking, which was also the major difference between him and Truss.
Seems like a man with some sense. Since when was having some sense classed as right wing? How much more right wing would have Truss been? Im interested to see how long this right wing scale is because it sounds like we are not far off hitler at this point 😂😂
Really enjoy your content, but Rishi is appearing more right wing simply because he needs to separate himself from Starmer and win back right wing voters. A true right winger involves tax cuts and economy driving policies as a priority. You've conveniently left this out. If the interest rates drop and the economy strengthens and Rishi does these things (re lower tax, improve economy etc) then you can claim what you claim.

Remember that labour MP who told victims of the Rochdale grooming scandal to "shut their mouths for the sake of diversity" acting like none of the mentioned above also havnt been members of the labour party with the exact same scandals is just intellectually dishonest and casts aspertions that conservatives are somehow more evil than other people, that's not how you treat people in a democracy
are you implying there's a correlation between being a sexual deviant and supporting gender theory? oof
There are no "gender choices"...
You are either born male or you are born female.
It's a frequent pattern. Those most interested in the personal lives of others usually aren't doing too hot on the home front.
Cue the Dan Wootton allegations! 😂 And it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
"I am a fighter not a quitter" and right after that "I am resigning" was so funny. :'D Great edit.
i think the reason why he's the most right wing pm since thatcher is because he's so detached from reality and can't relate to the common people due to his immense wealth and his upbringing
No it's because these are populist policies which people wanted implemented years ago. They're only being implemented now because he's terrified of losing the next general election
Maybe he should take a listen to Pulp's common people /hj
isn't that all of them?
@@NGRevenant i mean yeah but he's the most case of them all
@@alice1374 JOE just got a new video idea
On economic terms, the main right/left distinction is probably private vs public ownership. Every government since Thatcher's has either privatised something that Thatcher didn't, or retained thr privatisation of earlier governments. So on economic grounds, it's probably true that this is the most right-wing government ever.
On social/"cultural" grounds I'm not so sure, despite all thr noise they are making about "culture wars" issues. It seems more like we have moved left so far and so fast that people are mistaking "some people saying things the would have been mainstream and uncontroversial a few years ago" for a swing to the right (or even the far right).
(I) Agree with this.
'We should treat people like criminals for existing and put them in concentration camps until we can ship them off to be tortured' would have been controversial a few years ago.
Now, it's mainstream. Because the Tories have been pushing for it for years.
Despite the illegality.
So, no, you're spouting bullshit.
Because thats the only thing we can be "left wing" is whether we can oppress certain groups or not as long as they aren't refugees. Next we will be left on wether furries can publically marry dogs as the government brings back conscription.
Remember what you could've had in 2017-19

Sunak and Thatcher in the same sentence... wow! And wishi-washi Rishi is as left as a Tory can be. ULEZ? 15 minute cities?
Yes because Labour moved into the middle. Should Labour returned to their roots then the Tory's would become less right wing.
Cameron arose whilst Tony Blair was Prime Minister getting the leadership job in 2005. Clearly he was more moderate and clearly so was Labour at the time
no they wont. as they are lead by their donors, who are borderline fascists.
I'd argue almost identical to the Tories now. The Tories only have culture war stuff to attack Labour on. Same policies. Kid Starver is a tory in red but people consistently say he isn't....
if the torries go to the right because labour goes to the middle - doesn't that mean that now the left is free for someone else?
Seriously? What is your evidence for this ridiculous statement? As Labour presented a more and more left-wing platform, the Tories had the scope to move further and further right, as the centre ground was abandoned. Do you really think it's a coincidence that the most right wing governments have achieved power against the most left-wing presented Labour oppositions? The more right wing tories of Thatcher were eventually defeated by the centre moving Labour under Smith and Blair (so it took them two elections the trajectory was clear). Opposing a centre field Labour government the tories had no choice but to move back to the centre - today's tories wouldn't have even beaten Gordon Brown's 2010 Labour I am quite sure. Cameron's coalition presented a relatively moderate program (though it was a lie), but against the more left-wing Milliband they could move to the right to head off UKIP. in 2017, May's tories went further right against an unpopular Corbyn, before Boris Johnson managed to get an unspeakably right-wing government (the same one we have today don't forget) in only because voters were afraid of a radical left Corbyn. Now that Starmer has moved the party back to the centre, the tories had a choice to either move back to the centre and put up a fight, or abandon the next election and move further right. They chose the latter, they will lose, and they will continue to lose until either they move back towards the centre, or Labour drift very far off course (and start ignoring voters like they did in 2019).

I’m sorry but you can’t call people libertarian when they crackdown on protesting and those laws are used to arrest people for simply protesting the head of state and they are then later released essentially saying they broke the law but didn’t really do anything wrong… they might be economically right wing but that doesn’t make them libertarian. Both Labour and the Tories have an authoritarian leaning to them, people have recognised for years how much government oversight we have, not just nanny state regulations which are sometimes necessary but sometimes genuinely scary rules like vaccine passports, new labours mandatory ID, new labours anti terror laws, the snoopers charter, and the anti protesting laws all of which have been opposed by the Liberal Democrats and surely any Libertarian would certainly oppose those too?

Sunak is too small weak and cowardly to stand up to the right of his party. even Liz Truss just days out from resigning had more strength in the party than Sunak has, enough to sack Braverman
I disagree. It's not that he can't stand up to them, it's that he agrees with them but doesn't want to publicly be seen doing so.
He is a brexiteer, he agrees with them, he is one of them. He just comes across as less so because of his age and how he speaks if he was 65 and more brash with his language it wouldn't even be a discussion.

"The Most Right Wing PM Since Thatcher?"
Thatcher was a liberal leftie compared to this lot.
1) She was strongly in favour of the EU, and was key driver behind the creation of the EU Single Market
2) She was strongly in favour of freedom of movement. Especially for ex-Iron Curtain countries because freedom of movement was the one thing they didn't have that they desired the most.
3) She helped get the Montreal Protocol through, banning ozone destroying CFCs. Without her driving the UK and the US to sign up we wouldn't have an ozone layer today
4) After that she spoke out against climate change caused by rising CO2 levels.
5) She also believed in liberal leftie principles such as the rule of law and the idea that no one no matter how rich and powerful should be above the law.
She was strongly in favour of the EU until she wasn’t
She was against rainbow activists. Show me a Tory today that is opposed to rainbow activists
"liberal leftie principles such as the rule of law" excuse me wtf?
Non of those things are left or right wing subjects.
People make the assumption that not wanting to be in the EU is right wing which is a nonsense. It's a thing that straddles both sides hence Jeremy Corbyn.
Regarding basic parts of the environment, humanity only until the last 100 years has bothered to care about it; since then seems both sides have given time to the issue.
When it comes to radical stuff like climate change then that's a left wing issue. But basic environmental things like protecting rivers and ecology is a universal goal regardless of political persuasion in the public.
If you consider mass immigration against the wishes of the people as right wing....
Every time he moves right, Starmer follows. He's trying to do anything to differentiate himself.
It's narrowing the gap between the parties to allow himself to be more relatable to right wingers while alienating to us on the left who unfortunately have no other significant party to represent us
@@slothslothslothslothslothsloth And it's a working strategy as it was with Blair and Major. They've calculated the cost and it's more than worth it. You mute the ideological profile of the parties and labour vs the Tories is a question of competence which the Tories lose so they have to go right and move out of a winning coalition to survive.
Immigration is higher under Sunak than under previous PMs.
Sunak is the definition of being anti-immigration wo. fearing of being called racist. 😂
Someone's been reading the economist 😏
Perhaps socially conservative with things like the culture war and immigration, but economically he is far from Thatcher. He raised taxes as chancellor and spent far too much money.
Yet he wants UK to be "the safest country for LGBT in the world" voted to ban pro life protests and the illegal immigration is at all time high.
I am really struggling to understand what makes someone more right wing. Is it ultra capitalism? Is it social conservatism? Is it civil libertarianism? Every source of information is too vague.
Labour's inability or unwilingness to do anything to counter Sunak is just as baffling.
Because they are right wingers too, although less so. Would be a pot kettle situation.
@dondoodat Oppose with a small o. They are increasingly moving right on many major issues including environmental protections by attempting to throw Sadiq Khan and ULEZ under the bus.
@@faenethlorhalien Increasingly I dont want a massive labour majority in the next election, small majority/ minority with Lib dem coalition might actually force a change of voting system.

Will be better than ephemeral and cosmetic changes passed by Starmer. The way things are going he is going to waste the greatest opportunity for change in decades.
Well Stamer is an unabashed centrist. He doesn't really offer an alternative to the right wing, instead choosing to honour the post-Thatcher Blairite status quo, similar to how the Tories did with the post-War consensus until Thatcher. Corbyn, also he has his own issues, was the only Labour leader since Blair to offer a real alternative but the centrists pushed him out
@@artoriastheabysswalker It cant be forgotten that Corbyn returned the highest vote share for labour in a decade in 2017. Literally only 2% less than Thatcher when she achieved her largest majority. Only 3% less than Tony Blair in 1997. In other words our voting system is f*cked.

Good video, but I think it's an oversight re: trans stuff to not mention the new guidance for schools. Blocking the scottish act was grim politics, but their guidance is going to compel teachers to out their students to parents, which is going to endanger some trans children. Equally, the fact that a conversion therapy ban has been stalled because the government wanted to ensure that they didn't prevent trans conversion therapy is a chunky one
it's oh so cruel. trans care practically does not exist in the uk
they know have no leg to stand on, nothing TERFs or conservatives say about trans people is true. none of it. but they do it anyway because they're hateful. transitioning is safe and completely normal and nobody with any relevant medical credentials can disagree. transphobes could not be more wrong if they tried. it upsets me so bad
Thanks for mentioning this.
Yeah, the conversion therapy ban is a joke now. You could've built at least two Shards and most likely three empire state buildings in that time. How long does a "good" bill take? it's also a dead bill with their attached consent loophole too.
Lots of TLDR's videos equate right wing with the far right. These two positions are nowhere near each other, as is the case with the left/far-left. The comments section is even worse. I loathe Rishi Sunak with every fibre of my being, but to call him right wing is a joke.

Kinda horrible when you think about it. We have had 2, maybe 3 including Johnson himself, of the most conservitive prime ministers that have been in power due to an election that was won almost entirely because of Brexit.
Pretty sure everyone who switched blue for Johnson so he could get Brexit over and done with wouldntve voted for Truss atleast
Can you please stop using the meaningless phrase ‘Right-Wing’? It means something completely different depending on who you speak to, as you well know. For example, Margret thatcher was called a conservative when in reality she was a liberal. Free-trade and small government is not what a conservative would necessarily want, e.g a conservative may want a larger military etc
And on Section 28 - which is alwayssss spoken of, can you name one teacher prosecuted under it? No! Because it wasn’t ever enforced
And as for sunak being conservative? Please. All you referenced was words and no actions.
Too bad the only thing that will change next year is we will probably have the most right-wing Labour PM :(
The migration policy is quite unfair, to put it mildly. It’s inhumane to treat asylum seekers in such a way- the integration of immigrants within the society significantly depends on how they are treated: like humans or subhumans.
Personally, I think Sunak's immigrant background rather helps his right-wing policies. If you're going to pursue right-wing policies, especially when it comes to conservative social values, the left is much less inclined to call you a racist/sexist/lgbt-phobe when you're a minority. So he can push those issues with more aplomb.
I miss theresa may or even Cameron 😢
He is much more right wing than Thatch. On social issues. On the economy, he has no policies, apart from self enrichment.
Being more right wing on world view issues doesn't make hum right wing. He's still on the level of most left wing parties in Europe.
Nothing better than watching a minority show the majority how its done. Good Job Rishi

The conservative party I looked up to when I was younger feels like it's just suddenly disappeared...
how old are you? im 48 and they have been shite all my life.
Never heard or seen anything from Sunak that suggests he understands the world outside his very cosseted, rarefied life. His natural sympathies are with the seriously rich, and seeing the world through that lens tries to shape society to fit that worldview.
In short, he lacks common humanity and that characteristic manifests in all the plans and decisions he makes.
Callous, arrogant and condescending, he has no conscience about the long-term impacts on the peoples, soil, sea and air of these Isles.
Prime ministers time in office should be measure by "Truss" measurement, every prime minister that completes same days as truss can be called "1 Truss days" in office
Liz Truss is my favourite PM ever. Wish she was still in the job to make us feel better in our communication skills.
He has to turn up the conservatism to "make up" for being brown in the eyes of the hyperconservative tories.
He’s a socialist not right wing
Most of these things are just him undoing or not fulfilling previous changes that by any reasonable standard would be judged as left wing, despite being proposed and put into place by the Conservatives. So if anything, you could say he's marginally returned to conservatism, given the Overton window has shifted so much that gay marriage and net zero have become part of what his party supports. Even then, your example isn't him undoing gay marriage, but preventing a radical change to self-ID concerning transgenderism, so again this isn't backsliding, but simply preventing a progressive aligned agenda from being fulfilled. He's the most right wing PM since Thatcher only because his predecessors started leaning to the left in line with David Cameron's approach.
Ironically, the one place that isn't true is with regard to the economics Thatcher was renowned/hated for; David Cameron's austerity was to the right of Sunak's soft-keynesian thinking, which was also the major difference between him and Truss.
Sunak is one of the best Tory LIARS;
"Government integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level" - 25/10/22.
He isn't right wing at all
Seems like a man with some sense. Since when was having some sense classed as right wing? How much more right wing would have Truss been? Im interested to see how long this right wing scale is because it sounds like we are not far off hitler at this point 😂😂
Really enjoy your content, but Rishi is appearing more right wing simply because he needs to separate himself from Starmer and win back right wing voters.
A true right winger involves tax cuts and economy driving policies as a priority. You've conveniently left this out. If the interest rates drop and the economy strengthens and Rishi does these things (re lower tax, improve economy etc) then you can claim what you claim.
True right wing means both conservative and tax cuts. If you want tax cuts but are not conservative then you are a liberal/libertarian.
How dare the Tories make me long for the days of May
And what is bad about being right wing?
Thatcher was worse.
He will be thrown the hell out very soon
