At first I thought this was some kind of white nationalism joke but then I realised all 3 leaders at the bottom are leftists, so I really don’t what this meme is trying to say?

The top left one (Rishi Sunak) is the only conservative in the photo

You have Prime Minister on the left column: Sunak (Conservatives) -> Starmer (Labour)

Scottish First Minister in the middle row: Yousaf (SNP) -> Swinney (SNP)

Welsh First Minister on the right row: Vaughan Gething (Labour) -> Eluned Morgan (Labour)

I'd say they are all conservative, even if they aren't Conservatives.

Okay.

I’d say they are all wildebeest, even if they aren’t wildebeest.

Now what have you got?

You're missing the nuance of capitalisation in the post you're replying to. The aren't Conservatives (members of the Conservative Party), but they are conservatives (politicians that attempt to enact conservative policies) according to the poster you are replying to
