Arguably, the Conservatives under Boris were a populist party that exiled the vast majority of conservative MP's that still believed in traditional conservatism. Pair this with Brexit, and we ended up in a position where the only path forward is higher taxes or (further) financial ruin.

The party will always be one of low taxes, and conservative values, but not until Sunak is out, and the rats leave the ship. Funny enough, the skilled trades and southern professionals still see the Tories in that light, even though they're basically the Brexit Party right now...
