She's gone, the Blob has won. Soon some adherent of the gradual-decline, globalist orthodoxy will be Prime Minister (again). Cries will now be for an immediate General Election. Instinctively, this makes sense: with absolutely no democratic mandate – not even the support of the Conservative Party membership – the next PM will be little more than our technocratic overlord.

I agree and don't agree at the same time.
Yes to everything you say about this government. And yes, it doesn't matter if Labour are in power because it will just be a WEF government.
However, I don't think a year or so is enough time for an alternative. I hope that I can be wrong. What this country needs is a Trump figure and we don't have one. Perhaps WEF Labour is what this country must face.
I actually wake with a recurring nightmare -- we are told that elections are no longer necessary in this country as it's all agreed that, given the state of emergency, all political parties are to work together for the "greater good". Sadly, I could see too many people accepting such a thing now.
We need some sort of (peaceful) uprising. A wiping away of the Establishment and a replacement with serious people holding serious views who are capable of individual thought.
People who aren't career politicians. Who aren't in it for the money/power/prestige but for the Love of Country.
Are there any such people? Would they be willing to pull together and would they have the courage to turn their backs on the globalists, the "experts", the technocrats, the homeless "citizens of the world"?
There will not be a general election. Nobody wants to be an ex MP and even “safe” seats are at risk if there were an election tomorrow. We need a real choice not these clowns. None of them want to face up to the fact that the war they fighting against Russia and self defeating sanctions are the prime cause of the problems.
Truly we are caught between a 'Tory' rock and a Labour hard place. My instinct is for an election, but the article is quite correct: Starmer and co will just bring more of the same on steroids: Open Borders +++, wall-to-wall trans dalliance, cosying up to Brussels, more wokus pokus.
But how do we rid ourselves of these technocratic parasites? They resemble a Human Resources dept from hell.
The successor to the hapless Truss should reinstate Suella, and rid us of Hunt- the Tory Mandelson equivalent.
A place for the Reform Party is something to hope for.
An idea I’ve been plugging (with almost zero success admittedly): the DUP should go national and merge with some Reform-led alliance. It would instantly transform a Reform-alliance into a party with 8 Westminster MPs (three behind LibDems), while giving the DUP a foundation of national support to build on. That the DUP are the most successful party in NI should help to tempt high quality candidates to stand nationally.
You refer to ‘adherent[s] of … gradual-decline’—there is no more declinist position than the embrace of separatism, be it English, Irish, Welsh or Scottish (or Cornish, Yorkshire, etc.—they’ll be up next should English separatists succeed in seceding ;-) ). It’s more than time that declinist, separatist talk was binned and Unionist politics came to the forefront of the British political scene, separatism only leaving both old and new nations weaker, and transforming troublesome regions that can be stamped on into sovereign nations that international law demands respecting.
The DUP seem the party most committed to both Brexit and our British Union—and they have some pretty good members deserving of wider renown; e.g. here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO5P8g8-UUU) is East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson speaking at a Leave Means Leave rally. (There is some disappointment with the DUP in NI but they stand head-and-shoulders above the rest of the sorry lot in Westminster.)

What is needed is a Second Reformation.

I couldn't agree more, Frederick!

A briefly interesting moment was Nigel Farage’s 2018 visit to a DUP fundraiser, causing some fevered speculation (https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-dismisses-speculation-he-is-to-join-the-dup-36897345.html )—and one can but wonder what success the UUP might have enjoyed had they gone national with Enoch Powell at their head in 1974 or ’79.
