Imagine if almost all of the UK’s political parties (barring Reform UK and the hard-right fringe of the Conservatives) were fused into one sprawling, disorderly coalition.

This mega-party is run by professionally risk-averse, retirement-age politicians, with no clear leader or mass membership structure – its decisions filtered through a permanent class of consultants and lobbyists.

Then task this chaotic entity with opposing a ruthless and erratic authoritarian government.
