.@Lone_Inadequate We already have two Polly Toynbee parties, New Labour and Tories. I'm proposing we go down to one."

It's a rightwing party we need.
The Two Polly Toynbee Parties Thesis would undoubtedly come as news to Polly Toynbee.
DeleteThe areas that swung the referendum were not only left-wing, but voted Leave for that reason. It wasn't immigration in, say, Sunderland, or Hartlepool, or Pontypridd. In any case, there are left-wing as well as right-wing arguments on both sides even of that.
