Could it by any chance be because they're the UK wing of a global network of rich people determined to slash taxes, kill regulation, cut workers' rights and promote fossil fuels? Possibly?

Nationalist-populist governments, especially Trump's, wrap themselves in the flag while filling their boots with gold, much of it foreign. They can't fool all of the people forever.

Lula victory speech:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.
We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Huge democratic breakthrough in Serbia tonight, followed by a Lula win in Brazil!
Amazing day for democratic renewal.
Bad day for illiberal populists.

Lula didn’t just take on Bolsonaro. He took on the technofeudalists, election interference by Meta, U.S. diplomats, and won. Impressive and inspiring. LFG.

Vučić’s defeat could mark a geopolitical turning point for Serbia. It could also inject fresh momentum into EU enlargement across the Western Balkans, where progress has stalled for years. A Serbia firmly anchored in Europe would transform the region’s outlook - and significantly weaken Russia’s influence

The atmosphere is amazing, all the cars honking, fireworks, people smiling at every passerby, truly a holiday. I'm posting this so I can savor the moment forever. I'm not forgetting the MAGA cadavers who took part in Vučić's last grip on power though, your time will soon come.
