Decision Time

Of course neither Boris Johnson nor Jacob Rees-Mogg could win a General Election.

The question is whether the Conservative Party is a serious political organisation, or a public school lark.

If it could consider either Johnson or Rees-Mogg as Leader, then it is the latter.

Just as Labour had to decide whether it was a machine for elevating the next bland technocrat in line, or a party of the Left.

It made its decision. The Conservatives must make theirs.

  1. Quite right. As Peter Hitchens has said in his column, Labour chose a leader from the Left, now conservatives have to find a leader from the Right.

    1. Oh, no, it's not that. They are not that party, because that party is not a British thing at all. The electoral constituency that he would wish into existence was never there in the first place.
