United Kingdom

And this shouldn't be reduced to party politics.

In the last 11 years, four MPs were either assassinated or placed in serious danger of assassination.

David Amess. Tory. Assassinated in 2021.

Jo Cox. Labour. Assassinated in 2016, by a far-right nationalist.

Stephen Timms: Labour. Stabbed and seriously injured in 2011, by a radical Islamist. Fortunately recovered and is still an MP.

Rosie Cooper. Labour. Targeted for assassination by a far-right nationalist group. Is alive today, because one of the plotters defected and turned informer. Several people were convicted of the plot in 2018.

It certainly does not appear that Tories are particularly targetted. Political violence can happen to anyone and for any of several motives, of which simply being anti-Tory or anti-Labour does not seem to be one. In the 70s and 80s, several MPs were victims of actual or attempted murder, and the usual motive was IRA support.

Totally horrible, whatever the motive.
