Peter Hitchens is more right than wrong here. But we can never have a "British Trump", simply because we have a parliamentary system. Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair both found that one out the hard way. Another hung Parliament is coming, 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.
Hitchens is a Norway Option man, so what's he complaining about? Real opponents of the EU have been betrayed but he's got as near as dammit to what he wanted.
