Washington Post: “Five years ago, British Prime Minister David Cameron looked like a modern conservative ready to offer the Republican Party a model for the future. Today, four days before critical elections here, he is a politician fighting for a second term and buffeted by many of the same problems and pressures that afflict and divide the GOP in the United States.”
“There are important differences between the Republican Party and Britain’s Conservative Party. There is no Christian conservative movement here, for example. So the parallels are imperfect. But the long-term prognosis for both is similar. Negative images and changing demographics combine to put both parties in a defensive posture — even as they claim some election victories along the way.”
