Another disappointing result for conservative politics worldwide. While her character may be in question, her policies were on point. I do hope that we're not starting to see a whiplash effect where people are against good, reasoned, conservative policy for the sake of a few bad calls.


I'm a little out of the loop, and not that familiar with UK politics.

What policies do you think we're on point and representative of good conservatism?


Borrowing money to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

Oh sorry, you said good conservatism...


Her policies were terrible. Gutting the tax base, subsidizing energy demand in an inflationary environment. Almost all conservative policies are terrible but these ones were so bad that there was a run on the pound. I'm glad you're not running the country i live in


A lot of us want small Government and low taxes.


yeah and thats bad policy.


> Almost all conservative policies are terrible

This seems hyperbolic and doesn't really fit with the HN guidelines. As most HN commenters lean conservative, I recommend reading the room first.

In addition, every leader on the world stage enact primarily conservative policy because it's effective. While there are some outliers, it's easy to see just from reading the news and listening to independent thinkers what the inevitable outcome will be.


HN does lean conservative, I don't. Are you telling me I shouldn't express my views on here because people would disagree with me ? "In addition, every leader on the world stage enact primarily conservative policy because it's effective". Do you have any sort of proof for this claim ? Who are the supposed "independent thinkers" you listen to ?


> Who are the supposed "independent thinkers”

People who say what I want to hear of course!


Which policy was on point? Borrowing to fund tax cuts for the rich?
