## Resource

Across the pond, London just hosted a version of the Conservative Political Action Conference, and sources say it was... well, distinctly British. No red hats, no flamboyant costumes, and significantly less Trump fanfare than its American counterpart. The New York Times reports a decidedly understated affair, a stark contrast to the over-the-top MAGA celebrations we're used to. Was it a political pivot, or just a very polite party? We're digging into why this typically bombastic event went so quiet.
