As far as I can tell, Britain's right-wing hasn't reached the point where election denialism is a mainstream position. At least it doesn't look like the UK's on the verge of another civil war. At least the last four Conservative PMs have had the sense to not only know when they've completely shit the bed, but resign when they've done so.
That aside (admitting that you’ve lost), Toryism is and always has been inimical to the national well-being.
Not for nothing, but one of the suggested etymologies of ‘Tory’ is that it’s a worn-down form of the Irish word toruidhe, meaning ‘robber’.
