Trump will be badly needed, if Conservatives are defeated in the UK

I may sound defeatist, but it’s because this article focuses solely on one scenario.

I agree with Farage this time. All predictions suggest that the US elections will have a profound effect on countries worldwide and are therefore much more important than the ones in the UK. Similarly, the EU elections in July hold greater significance than the UK elections.

In the UK, the people are not ready to shift towards a third party, and the party they like has let them down for some time. They are still accustomed to a two-party race between the Conservatives and Labour. Many Conservatives are staying home to protest the Conservative Party. If we had a real Conservative manifesto with societal change policies rather than just managerial policies similar to Labour’s, Conservatives would have won the next general election hands down. Yet, we dragged our feet so much that we did not offer any glimpse of hope for change except the slogan “Our plans are working,” while it is obvious to all that they are not.

The lack of enthusiasm among UK voters compared to their US and EU counterparts is our fault. It is the fault of the Conservatives. We could not galvanize the masses with the right, common-sense policies and confused the electorate by offering similar policies to Labour. My friends and colleagues want me to stay positive and fight. I will. Like Farage, who will fight for his Reform Party, I will do the same for my party, the Conservative Party.

If Labour wins the election, we will need some balancing for the socialism in the UK in the Western hemisphere. Trump will be critical to achieving this objective. It won’t be the same kind of relationship that Blair created with the USA. We need Conservative America more than at any other time to balance that relationship. 

I do not carry a crystal ball to predict things, but I feel this time around I can read the future based on the current political situation. Here are my predictions for the UK.

The future of Conservatism with the Conservative Party does not depend on this election. It depends on who is selected as the next leader of the Conservative Party after the election.

In my view, the time will come for us on the right of the party to fight for, debate, and place a right-wing leader after the fallout. If the status quo continues, as it has since 2010, it is time to establish and move to another Conservative party.

For me, a lot is at stake. I love the Conservative Party because of its history and what it stood for, except, of course, for the last 14 years. During these 14 years, I have remained a Conservative and the world has changed immensely in political terms. 

Of course, if we win the election, it will be a different kind of struggle ahead of us, which we can discuss if it becomes a reality.

Before I continue, I would like to mention that Conservatism and the word Conservative are not trademarks of the Conservative Party. Although the party is called Conservative, please appreciate that many Conservatives exist outside the Party. That is why I particularly call the movement by its name, Conservatism. When I write Conservative, I mean Conservative, acknowledging that many variations of it also live inside the Party.

I used to appreciate this broad church concept. But one side of the church has become slightly more aggressive, intolerant, utterly uncivil, and backstabbing, while the other side (the right wing of the party), although they have not contributed to any policies in the last 14 years, is blamed for all the failings of the Conservative movement.

While we are talking about differences, we must also distinguish between the Conservative Party and the Conservative Government. They are not the same. As long as you are a Conservative and a member of the Conservative Party, we don’t criticize the Party but the government when things get out of hand.

Since 2010, party members like me assumed things were getting out of hand by various governments. Do I have to remind you how Theresa May treated the Brexit victory? How did Boris become the biggest spender of taxpayers’ money and expand the state?

What kind of impact the US elections will have on the whole world? The US elections will help to create the next manifesto for the Conservative Party in the UK, with much wider issues at stake, from cancel culture to environmental policies to reforming the administrative state. Since 2010, the Conservative Party has remained a managerial party rather than a society-changing party with a visionary leader who unites people with common-sense policies.

We left our core beliefs behind. I am afraid every single PM except Liz Truss did that. Maybe Liz Truss would have done the same if we had given her more time, but within those 49 days, she proved to be more Conservative than all the other PMs put together.

What do we need to change if we come to power again? Of course, this time, we have to go back to the fundamentals of Conservatism. The next Conservative government must not make the same mistakes. We must go back to 1996 and undo everything from the Blair and Brown governments. For example, the reversal of the College of Policing regulations on hate crimes. We need to replace doctors’ contracts and design new ways dentists work in the country. 

Plus, we have plenty of policies introduced in the last 14 years that require reversal, such as the repeal of the Equality Act, the reversal of the energy cap pricing policy, reversing the sugar tax, airport arrival taxes, and other similar stealth ad-hoc taxes. We need to change the Landlord Act, remove extra taxes imposed on holiday lets, and end the tyranny over second homeowners. The two most important policies are going to be repealing the mandatory net zero policies and introducing a new Immigration Law.

We need to reform Leasehold property purchases for the flats and reform the Civil Service. The list is long, and maybe we will cover them all one by one soon, but in essence, we need to repeal all the social democrat legislation introduced by the Conservative government(s).

For this article, Trump’s victory is imperative to curb the socialism of the Labour Party, which will be in power soon, and the EU. Trump is a much-needed leader, and at this time, we have no other choice but to support Trump all the way. His victory will be our guarantee to set up our next Conservative policies, although I don’t agree with every Trump policy, particularly his foreign policy.

His belief in non-intervention is just who he is, believing he has the knack to communicate his concerns (as an individual to Putin, and he will have to listen to him) and to end the war in Ukraine. But don’t count on Trump to be completely non-interventionist if things don’t go his way. So, while I am okay with this, I don’t want future Republican leaders to embrace this non-interventionist position because they do not have the same flexible approach as Trump. The US is not the policeman of the world, but it must protect the interest of the USA and not be isolationist. We still have a very dangerous world. Just look at the recent terrorists in the Middle East.

So, what will happen after the election in the UK? We will have a Labour government elected by default, not by a vote increase. The Conservatives are staying home because they don’t want to vote for Labour.

Five months after the UK general election, we will have Trump in office. That is much needed if we are going to curtail socialism in this country. 

The EU needs to be straightened out as well. In June, the Europeans will go to the ballot boxes in 27 countries before the UK’s general election. The Conservatives and Populists will change the face of the European Parliament, and it looks like this is going to happen.

Considering all that, the UK is out of sync with the rest of the world, but this is temporary.

Conservatism has two options in the future if Conservatives lose this election. 

They will elect a new strong visionary Conservative leader and continue their journey. Or if they elect another leader who is not visionary enough to bring back Conservatism, Conservatives will have to find another home. Conservatives will eventually win again as the right remains grounded in common sense against the craziness of immigration and net zero policies (these are the two top priorities for me), and the UK population will make that decision, if not in this coming election, then in the one after.
