They can lie, defraud, steal, destroy, fail, kill. Their support holds. Nobody can hold them to account, and they know it.
The first lie they got away with was a rush. They literally don't care now.
"Why is their support not collapsing?"
To those not on benefits:
"It's a waste of your money"
To those on benefits:
"You receive so little because foreigners/asylum seekers/benefit cheats/lefties"
To all: "hate is good. We are better than everyone else"
"Why do we have no power?"
Over decades we have fragmented into competing parties and factions.
That's it. No need to over-think it.
Till that is addressed, nothing will change.
"Who's to blame?"
Certainly not the the venal, the duped, the haters. All societies have them.
No. It's me. It's us - the people who couldn't organise effectively and gave the keys of the kingdom to the worst in our society, destroying decades of progress.
Tanja is right. Conservatives are a minority coalition. Slave-trader statues? Threatening refugees? Ending foreign aid? Starving kids? Signals to keep it intact.
Rage changes nothing. Let's #TakeControl. A majority coalition *will*.
The #BrexitDeal is better than #NoDealBrexit in the same way that shooting yourself in the leg is better than gouging your eyes out with a rusty spoon.

We now begin a period where the British are second-class citizens in their own continent, less free than Romanians, with less say over our continent than Malta. Where uniquely, British businesses fight with one arm tied behind their backs with red tape, delays and costs.
Our buying power has withered overnight. We're paying almost double for our #COVIDVaccine than EU citizens. Supporters of the #VoteLeave regime demand you clap like seals as their second-rate trade deals trickle in, a notable absence being a US trade deal after 4 years.
1. #ShapeShiftingCreeps make bad leaders 2. Voting them in made you poorer & less free 3. Your children despise what you've done to their country and future 4. The majority, won't accept this gutter you expect us to live in now.
Remember when they told you there were no downsides to #Brexit?
Now they're telling you that trading with the US isn't important.
At what point do you wake up and realise these are the instructions for turning a country into North Korea?
When the Nazis invaded Poland they took control of the media to pump hate propaganda, stripped people of their freedom, looted the country's reserves, attacked the judicial system, farms, the arts, libraries, universities & neighbouring countries.
