Despatch: Why the old parties aren't dead
from The Capitalist Hosted by CapX
From fractured local elections to the rise of Reform and the Greens, British politics increasingly feels unstable, fragmented and unpredictable. Yet in this essay, Lee David Evans of the Mile End Institute argues that while the old political order may be gone, the old parties are proving harder to kill than many assume. Drawing comparisons with Harold Wilson, John Major and Margaret Thatcher’s Conservatives, Evans suggests that beneath the chaos of five-party politics, Labour and the Conservatives still retain deeper institutional resilience than their critics admit.
