“Throughout modern British history, politics has been a battle between two parties,” the Financial Times reports.
“This fundamental scenario has only been questioned sporadically — such as when the Social Democratic Party briefly threatened to become a force in the 1980s.”
“Now, however, British politics seems to be on the verge of an enduring shift. Five parties are polling between 12 and 26 per cent. Labour and the Conservatives, blamed for years of poor governance, together command just over a third of voters. Despite voting for Brexit a decade ago, the UK electorate is increasingly continental.”
