The UK Conservative Party has continued its sharp downward trajectory by electing Kemi Badenoch leader of the party to replace Punjabi billionaire Rishi Sunak.
Badenoch, whose maiden name is "Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke," which may as well be "unga bunga wunga" to most Tory members, is a moderately talented Nigerian lady, who was born in London, apparently just to get the UK citizenship, as she was quickly sent back to Nigeria, where it is a lot cheaper to raise kids.

While Badenoch may be just as individually worthy as, or even more worthy than, any of the other underpowered candidates (Jenrick, Cleverly, Tugendhat) whom she contested the leadership election with, make no mistake about it, this is an unqualified disaster for the Conservative Party.
This is because the right-wing vote in the UK is now deeply split between the Conservatives and the Reform Party. In the latest opinion polls, the Conservative vote is between 24 and 29%, while Reform's support is between 17 and 20%. This deep split is why Labour won such a massive majority with such a low vote (33%) at the last election in July.

With Badenoch as leader, right-wing voters, who are generally older, whiter, and more "racist" than left-wing voters, will find it hard to reunite behind the Conservative Party. The appeal of Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which has "dark money" funding that may well be linked to Russia, can only grow stronger.
There are two possible outcomes from Badenoch's election, both of which are disastrous for the Conservative Party:
Either the right-wing vote will remain split with the Tories remaining the "dominant" right-wing party. In that case a future election will replicate the previous election, with the Tories picking up the same low number of MPs and Reform keeping a handful of seats.
Or else Reform will become the dominant right-wing party with the Tories reduced to a handful of seats, while Reform become the opposition to a re-elected Labour government.

If Badenoch's rival in the final member's vote Robert Jenrick had won, his harder line on immigration and the fact that he is actually British would have undermined the appeal of Reform and led to a united right-wing opposition. It is extremely difficult for someone like Badenoch to believe in, or convincingly argue for, immigration restriction, because she is herself a product of mass immigration. Likewise, she is structurally unable to argue against wokeism and DEI when she is the product of wokeism and DEI herself, being parachuted into a safe Tory seat in 2017 by the Tory Party's "wokewashing" leadership. In fact, this is why she survived the Tory electoral wipeout in July as PoC candidates were generally put in safer seats to avoid voter blowback at having "diversity" forced upon them.
So, why did Badenoch win the leadership contest, picking up 56% of the 95,000 party member votes?
The reason is not yet clear, and clues must be sought in the following days, but it seems that several key Tory influencers swung behind her, whether for genuine or mercenary reasons. As this is exactly the result that the Kremlin would have wanted, we should not be surprised if there was some Kremlin "dark money" at work to elect a "dark" candidate.
