Well, in one respect, the massive increase in UKIP voting is indeed
a 'lurch to the right'. That is not at all because UKIP is rightwing - no - it
is because we are 'right of centre' and the distance between us and a
Tory party dominated by 'liberal wets' is enormous. (We are more the Gladstonian
liberals of 2014.)
And what precisely is wrong with the right of centre, in any case?
- It has always been a far better bet than the left of centre to produce good
government. Now it is even more the case and better still that it is 'a non-tory
right of centre'.
If the UKIP wagon keeps on a-rollin' it will form the government in
2020.
