The long Conservative leadership contest was intended to audit the circumstances surrounding July's defeat, but it has devolved into denial and a retreat into dogmatic comfort zones.
While Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick have shown nuanced differences, neither candidate demonstrates a commitment to align the Conservative Party with mainstream British public opinion.
James Cleverly's call for the party to be 'more normal' highlights a significant oversight in the leadership race; he was overlooked in favor of candidates who mirror the party’s radical right.
Badenoch's cautious approach to complex issues contrasts with Jenrick's push to abandon the ECHR, emphasizing a division in the party's response to governance and public sentiment.
