With the death of Paddy Ashdown, consider that there will always be people, often very right-wing people, to whom the Conservative Party was just too public school, or too Southern, or too rural, and that there will always be people, often very left-wing people, to whom the Labour Party was just too public sector, or too Northern, or too urban.
Add in a cause from time to time, such as halting or reversing Brexit, and that will always be enough of a base for a viable minor major party. But would you really want that party to hold the balance of power in the hung Parliament that, having occurred at two of the last three General Elections, has already become the norm?
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. I will stand for this seat of North West Durham, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
