I have always resisted calls to name a dauphin or delfino.

The answer to James's question is that he and those, generally of the same generation, who think like him are now the Left in British politics, and they will be so without challenge from this coming Saturday onwards.
That "or delfino" is as priceless as when Gore Vidal first used it of Christopher Hitchens. Having read this article, young Draper is far better than barmy old Hitch ever was.
