Interesting how Canada and most likely Australia are rejecting their right, but the US and UK are embracing theirs.
Media organisations are promoting their fear.
Canada didn’t really reject the right. The Conservatives got 41.3% of the vote, which is at almost historic highs, and without any other context politics watchers would expect that to net them a majority government. However, almost all the other voters coalesced around one other party.
While kinda true, the UK scenario is a little different to how you’re portraying it.
The Conservatives were in power at “federal level” (UK/Westminster) for a decade and a half, and were only booted from office last year. If anything we lead the Oz and Canadian results.
The Tories are so on the nose that Farage’s mob (reform), who have been nibbling away at the Tories for near 2 decades are now getting a look in, it’s a bit analogous to the tea party take over of the GOP.
So the more populist flavour of the Tories will take seats off the Tories - it looks like a massive shift but it’s not really. The massive shift was a few years ago when the Tories managed to swipe a huge amount of the Labour voting base with populism - Reform are now taking a subset of that - the remainder having unhappily returned to Labour (who are doing a shite job and are basically red tories - ie Tories in Labour jerseys)
TL;DR - everyone (80%) are massively unhappy with the Tories, the left parties are doing a very mediocre job of addressing it, so an alternate “Tory without as much of the privileged upper crust running it” party are stealing their votes
Hell, it’s more complicated than that but that’s as good a distillation as I can do in a couple of paragraphs
