Für den Fall dass Sie #WilhoitsLaw nicht kennen:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Dass "Konservative" irgendwas "bewahren" wollen wurde doch schon vor Jahren als Mythos entlarvt: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." - #WilhoitsLaw

Exactly. #WilhoitsLaw in full effect.

"Kemi Badenoch expected to announce plan to leave ECHR"

British people's human rights to be abolished in the unlike event they get a Conservative government.

And in the likely event they get a Reform government.
