The Conservatives have left a legacy which will haunt Britain for generations: Brexit. With the recent changes to the political make-up of European countries, especially in France and Germany, it is becoming less likely that Britain will be considered eligible to ever be a full member of the EU again.
An added obvious disadvantage is the disastrous state of our finances and the size of our nation’s debt after 14 years of Tory mismanagement.
Hopefully, a new British government may find a way to persuade the EU that we are worth another chance. However, the stakes are much higher now, with European far-right parties gaining a very strong foothold. Keir Starmer and the labour government will a have mountain to climb if they are to reverse the disastrous state of the country.
