Sad as it is, was talking with someone about the rise of the Reform party and the split right vote in the UK, and they mentioned while there is fear for the next election, many of those voters will be dead by then.
Some public figures seem to make an obsessive effort so that their life's legacy is to not be missed, and in fact for the planet to emit a (tiny) sigh of relief. The list of this sort of people is particularly long in the so-called "conservative" or "christian" (actually reactionary and bigoted) side of politics.
