She proposed cutting taxes on the rich (if you call making over 168k rich) and corporations, and they all freaked out. They like being subjugated over there

---

They freaked out because their was no plan to replace that "revenue".

During high inflation without a plan to replace that revenue, the plan is to print more money so that you don't default on your obligations. And pound crashed. If there was meaningful austerity attached it may not have been as painful for the pound.

Her far right wing policies simply didn't fly. The markets reacted decidedly negatively towards unfunded tax cuts for the rich. Attempting to allow fracking again was also extraordinarily unpopular within her own party.

---

Far right policy? She had zero British in her administration and she's supposed to be far right? A far right British politician would have put only ethnically British men in the administration and would have committed to repatriating industry.

---

Why do you say the right wing is the exclusive realm of white males?

Her fiscal policy of eliminating the top 45% tax bracket, reversing course on the already planned rise in corporate taxes are all bread and butter tax policies of the far right.

---

God save us if the far right ever becomes the wing solely focused on marginal tax rates

So who is next

Oddly enough, Boris is in the top 3 and he's thinking of throwing his hat in the ring.

That's what they should do. I don't agree with Boris on a lot of things (his wife is an environmental whacko, and he caters to her whims on this), but is is very popular in the marginal seats that they have to win to form a government. And, having resigned as PM, he's done his penance for his sins and could now come back (you see people resign as ministers regularly for some screw up, only to come back in to government in the next reshuffle).

Energy suicide and tax increases are a staple of far left policy planks which the UK decidedly supports. Good luck to the general citizenry who will suffer from their pending corporate price hikes and continued hindering of energy independence.
