HIGH TORY NOW AND FOREVER
Aren't British "conservatives" still ultra liberal by US standards?
Low tories yes
Not mogg
No High Tories @Marcus Antonius But they are a dying breed maybe 1/3 of current Tory mps
So like 100 or so
Mogg is "reactionary" and catholic
:DDD
High Tories as in like high born?
Yes and no, it's a reference to that I think
meta do you have a good source for what’s going on rn? like news article or something
Idk your brit system
fucking brit politics
i can loom if not
@Marcus Antonius High just means Trad in this case
But not all of them are literally nobility
Originally it meant literal nobles and gentry tho
I see
This is in the 1700s tho
Mogg's dad was a baron right?
Looool revolt of the barons against a corrupt ruler again
His Dad was editor of the Times
Rich dude
His father in law was a Baron
Further back, his own ancestors are literally nobility
I mean look a his surname
Wasn't he really born into the upper-middle-class though? Like upper-upper-middle-class
His father was appointed a peer, but nothing inheritable
@Boffin Frog Yeah that’s hoe it works
It's good enough for now compared to 99% of the dreck
Go back a few hundred years he’s noble but nobility declines until your just a rich person who. No longer owns the family seat. His Father did own a manor though @Boffin Frog
I wish my father owned a manor
Gorgeous. When I'm a millionaire, I think I'll build a manor house. None of this dumb McMansion boring stuff, a full country estate
But in the U.S., being a Colonial
do we like davis or no @Metaphysical Monarchist
Yes
Great guy
McMansion's should all be razed to the ground
so him resigning means he could potentially get may’s spot?
