Any party that could seriously consider being led by Boris Johnson is itself profoundly unserious.
We are famous the world over for our humour. That is because we are fundamentally a serious country. There are joke countries, and they are not remotely funny to live in. But Britain is not a joke country, and it does not want a joke Prime Minister.
Yet that is what the Right in Britain now is. A public school lark. A parade of contrived eccentrics. Adding to the gaiety of the nation, at least in small doses. But never, under any circumstances, to be allowed anywhere near the running of anything.
