We Need A British Bayrou

If Bayrou's new centrist party gets off the ground, or possibly even if it doesn't, then it will very usefully define "the centre" in terms wholly different from those ridiculously employed in Britain, where "the centre" sometimes means nothing more than "the editorial position of the BBC", and always means the decadent, libertine, philistine, warmongering, massively unpopular ghastliness of neoliberal economics and the corresponding neoconservative geopolitics. When is someone going to challenge this in Britain, as in France?
