If I may remind regular readers of the quotation below which I have used before:"The true object of propaganda is not - to convince or persuade, but rather to produce a uniform pattern of public utterance in which the first trace of unorthodox thought reveals itself as a jarring dissonance." Leonard Schapiro.
We have had liberal left politicians in power now for many decades, with only the minor blip where Thatcherism made a slight indentation in the side of the socialist monolith.
Any idea from the right of centre or traditional right is subject to what Schapiro identified and instantly discarded - and without debate.
The intellectual right where it overlaps with the true centre-right [ long absent in the British political mainstream ] has a considerable amount to offer but is denied the 'oxygen of publicity' and its ideas are not allowed into debate.
[I am NOT referring in any manner to the extreme right.]
