    The Leave Referendum and what happened during it and afterwards to the Tory party is a great lesson of what happens when a mainstream rightwing party adopts the policies of the far-right.

    Should be a lesson for similar parties in the rest of Europe, IMHO.

      It was. A lot of right wing loonies in the EU dropped their leave the EU stance because everyone around the EU saw what a stupid and annoying thing it was to leave.
