The potential Labour members or supporters of Amber Rudd's Government of National Unity are economically well to the right of the present Government, and would probably also be far more gung-ho militarily.
More broadly and more deeply, if the Government were a "Government of National Unity", then what would that make everyone else? And what measures would that justify against everyone else?
Have no truck with any of this. Instead, another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. I will stand for this parliamentary seat of North West Durham, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign.
By common consent, Labour, the Conservatives and I are each on 30 per cent support, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

Peter Hitchens crowing that all his predictions are coming true. The looming split of the Tory Party, the need for a political realignment and the impossibility of delivering Brexit (as he always warmed) without electing a party commited to leaving.
ReplyDeleteThe old man is wise.
How few people can constitute a "split"? No one would vote for it, anyway. And they know it.
DeleteThe realignment happened last year. Britain is evenly split between those who do, and those who do not, approve of the economic changes of the last 40 years. Britain is evenly split between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn.
We always knew that. But now the party system reflects it. Well, it does outside the House of Commons, anyway. But that is a detail, which can easily be corrected. Removing the 117 Trump Republicans and the 172 Clinton Democrats, if there are still that many, will be a quick and easy process of deselection.
