From the transcript
It's one of the oldest, and by most measures, successful political parties in the world. In the 100 years between 1924 and 2024, the British Conservative Party was in power, either alone or as part of a coalition, for over two-thirds of that time, sixty-seven years compared to a mere thirty-three for their opponents.
In that time, they managed to produce a string of household names, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, even Boris Johnson.
We didn't say there had to be household names for good reasons. What we're trying to say is that this is less a party than it is an electoral machine, a force that has dominated British politics ever since its emergence in the 1830s, until now.
