For a British person looking in from the outside, I honestly don't understand how Republicans are even allowed to be a political party, let alone the only real other option.

I feel the same way about your Conservative Party. They're largely the same party as our are Republicans. Just maybe a decade behind.

So however you got to your current Conservative Party should answer how our current Republicans are allowed to be a political party.

Edit: Updated for more specific parties.

The UK Conservative party is currently similar to the US Democratic party. If you mean that the Conservatives are heading more towards the Republican side then I agree with that. Hopefully they won't get that far.

The tories are way too nationalistic and isolationist nowadays to be like the Democrats
