An intern or something on the Daily Mail (or so he claims) has berated me elsewhere for seeing anything in Peter Hitchens's appeal for parliamentary candidates, calling him "The Right's answer to George Galloway". Well, yes. Precisely.
UKIP is the Approved Party for disaffected Tories, because it is silly. It is, as Hitchens puts it, a golf club, blazer-and-cravats party. A certain section of the electorate is allowed it and even gently encouraged to support it, because that section is thus taken out of serious consideration.
But what if they now opted for something else? What if so did several other sections of the electorate? If George Galloway can get elected, then why can't Peter Hitchens and all sorts of other people not Approved by the political-media complex?
