And if that is how you define anyone who wants, on that basis, to give a voice to all those whose concerns are ANY ONE OR MORE of rural, monarchist, cautious and organic with regard to constitutional change, Eurosceptical, Unionist, pro-Commonwealth, academically selective, economically patriotic, morally and socially conservative, explicitly Christian, conservationist rather than environmentalist, and foreign policy realist. These are traditional causes of the British Left, inseparable from the battle against poverty, ignorance, illness, idleness and squalor.

I hope that you enoyed having three parties out of three. Three parties opposed to all of the above. All three of them collapsed on Sunday night. The highest scorer among them took only twenty-eight per cent of thirty-five per cent. And the other two did quite considerably worse even than that.

Speaking of Galloway’s constituency, if he doesn’t stand again, then John Howe, late of ther No2EU list in London, should give it a go. He used to be agent there. For Peter Shore. Winning back Peter Shore’s seat for a properly social democratic, patriotic movement? Now there is a prize indeed.

But what we stood for, and stand for, has never been more glaringly necessary: the patriotic, morally and socially conservative, entirely non-Marxist Left now urgently needs to be organised. There used to be something like that called “the Labour Party”. But it no longer exists. So we need to get our people into Parliament, so that they can eventually coalesce. That was how all four of the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, the Labour Party and (albeit at an exaggerated pace) the SDP were created.

Oooo, that wedgie’s gotta hurt.

Whatever happened to you prediction that the BPA would win MEP seats in the double figures at this election just gone, Mr Lindsay? I was sorely distressed not to see a BPA row on my ballot paper in London. Does this make you more utterly laughable than Labour?

I was surprised GG didn’t put himself forward for MEP, actually. He’s not got a hope in hell of winning a Parliamentary constituency next time, after all. And we know what kind of freaks, extremists and weirdos get elected in the Euros.
