'The Patriotic Alliance government was blissfully shortlived as their fragile electoral coalition quickly crumbled under the pressure of government. The alliance of countryside traditionalists, working class discontents, a young generation of ultranationalist internet warriors, and of course the firm ideologues of fascism, proved unstable. The divisions were generally on the lines of biological vs cultural racism and piety vs atheism. The Alliance lost their majority in 2014, after the reconstituted New Tory Party was formed, and what ensued was the National Government of the mid 10s and early 20s. The Patriotic Alliance entirely collapsed in Opposition, with the New Tories remaining the only group to retain a significant presence in the Commons after the 2017 elections. Shards of the Alliance retain a presence in British politics however, even now well into the 2040s.'
