    The vast majority of voters for both main parties are not racist.

    I mean, Conservative members (who are generally more right-wing than the electorate) have literally just voted for a black woman as leader over a guy throwing all the red meat he possibly could at them.

      Human nature is a lot more complicated than you think. Badenoch as a black woman, has managed to be both racist and misogynistic, while not seeing any issue with that.

      If a black woman can be racist then I guess the conservative electorate are okay with that. For now anyway, I still have my doubts about her long-term survival.
