Right Out

Theresa May's deal will be defeated even if every Conservative MP votes in favour of it. Those are the numbers. So any Conservative MP who might be planning to vote against it ought to stay at home instead.

After all, since she defeated them by two to one, they are never on television anymore. And the only point of the Conservative Right, since it emerged as a distinct tendency, really a separate party, in the 1990s, has been to appear on television and give everyone else a good laugh. It has never achieved anything else. Absolutely nothing at all.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
