So, are the DUP "Remoaners"? Are the Brexit Party? It is Dominic Cummings who has always been on record that he would not countenance No Deal under any circumstances. Not only that, but he has now seen the EU, and he quite fancies it as larger playground for his ego. Married into Northumberland gentry he may be, but he is no Ronnie Campbell.
I do not agree with the Labour MPs who voted with the Government yesterday, but nor do I blame them. This deal, the only one that the EU would ever sign, would tie us forever to the EU's State Aid rules, and to its public procurement requirements. But at the same time, we do not need the EU for workers' rights. For that, we need a British Government that believes in workers' rights. And if we want that Government, then we have to vote for it.
UKIP was supposed to win hundreds of seats and "replace Labour in the North", but where is it now? The Brexit Party is not going to win any seats, either. It will not even hand a few from Labour to the Conservatives, since more than half of its voters at a General Election would have come from the latter. Quite typically, its candidate here at North West Durham policed the Miners' Strike.
No, the big stories are going to be the Labour loses to the Liberal Democrats in London, the Conservative losses to the Lib Dems in the rest of the South, and the Conservatives' loss of most or all of their seats in Scotland to the SNP. Another hung Parliament is coming, therefore, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration.
After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
