"I'm starting to wonder if the 2 main parties have had the day and that it's time for something new to emerge. "
Starting to wonder ? You have to be kidding me.
The political system in the UK has been goosed for decades. UKIP didn't win a single seat but they have guided the biggest ever change to UK life in our generation probably. It's all moot anyway, as long as there are 40% of the public who want policy thats nasty and hard on those immediately underneath them or from different parts of the world then the tories will satisfy it and stay in power and the media will help them 100%.
Brexit is precisely why they have an 80 seat majority. It was driven by a demographic of people who have had the best the UK state could offer, have pensions and houses and now want to pull the rope up on anyone else. If something new is to emerge its likely gonna be more right wing.
