The collapse of party politics

The film was released in the UK in 2017. In 2016, the year before, the United Kingdom, and even France and the United States, party politics were in a state of dying.

The opening song of the film is very clear-a song "Jerusalem" brings people into English politics. Jerusalem is the national anthem of "England" (different from the "British" national anthem for the Queen of God.)

In the United Kingdom, in 2016 alone, regardless of the ruling Conservative Party-it was Cameron who stepped down because of the "Brexit" referendum, but in fact-Theresa May defeated Cameron by way of partisan infighting; The Labour Party that still opposes—Corbyn suffered two crises of trust within the party within six months—both proved that the decline of the British party has emerged—it is no longer intrigue, but the building is about to fall—torn apart.

But after this, internal fighting broke out again within the Conservative Party-the former mayor of London Boris Johnson has not finished the fight. At the time of "Brexit", In order to weaken the power of Johnson, Teresa May established the post of "Brexit" minister in addition to Johnson, who did not wear a suit at the 2008 Olympics.

But the Labour Party members have been fighting because of Corbyn's extreme left. Had it not been for the fact that Teresa May reluctantly grabbed the corner of another small party in the 2017 British election, Corbyn might face another vote of no confidence.

Especially in France next door, the two traditional parties were later swept out by Macron's new party.

The same in the United States. Had it not been for the scandal of the Democratic chairwoman to help Hillary Clinton defeat the far-left old man, Trump, who has no party background, would not have won so easily. Since 2016, people have discovered that the Democratic Party, which has traditionally turned to the left in the United States, has become more and more conservative, while the Republican Party, which has traditionally turned to the right, has begun to be somewhat radical because of the intrusion of Trump.

-Western party politics began to collapse. "The Party" uses the absurdity that everyone is derailed in marriage to reflect the reality that everyone is on the verge of fragmentation in party politics. The Party will not break up unhappily, it will only go back and forth. Who will fall under the gun of the next person?

The Party quotes

  • April: You're a *first* class lesbian and a *second* rate thinker. Must be all those women's studies.

  • Martha: I too am frequently described by internet trolls as an embarrassment, or worse. Much worse, actually. Is it a crime to be an embarrassment?
