So does Britain. Something like 75 of the last 100 years have had Conservatives in power. Obviously, what that means has changed over time, but it’s clear that every time Labour gets a shot at governing, Brits yell “Not good enough!” and put the Tories back in office.
And, like with the US, you now have progressives inheriting a house that conserves shat in for over a decade. Austerity, Brexit, etc.
I’m curious to see how good Britain’s long term memory is. America forgets about the dangers of conservatism all too quickly.

I wouldn’t really call the Labour party progressive
I’m old enough to remember when Thatcher first became PM and from what I’ve seen Britain’s long term memory is pretty shit.
