A long time ago, and repeatedly over many decades, I said if @TheGreenParty had an electoral breakthrough, the establishment, the media and political mainstream, would viciously turn on them. It was not hard to foresee, when you know the tawdry reality of the establishment.

The established order, isn't a group of people working together for the public good and the country. It is a tawdry, corrupt, powerful and wealth clique, in which the powerful and rich, cooperate to make themselves even richer and more powerful, at the cost of everyone else.
2/3
The first and most important rule of Rich and Power Club is that it exists only to further the aims of those in this clique. The second rule is that it doesn't exist, and the third is, if anyone breaks ranks or threatens the aims of this clique, then they must be crushed.
3/3
PS. This applies generally, even if what I say is UK specific. The established order assimilated progressive political parties like the Labour Party, but if any Labour leader attempted to step outside power and rich club rules, the whole establishment cooperates to crush them.
