It’s the strangest feeling this evening. I’m about to watch the Party I’ve given so much to, collapse. Worse, the country I am a part of, die. Both of their own volition, both at the same time.
And if anyone has anything to add: is this the first time in the history of western civilisation that a mainstream, mass membership left-wing political party has *knowingly* enabled a right wing counter revolution?
And finally...left,right, centre. Lots of MPs have no hinterland. If they aren’t in politics, they can’t pay the mortgage. There’s a lot of that going on. Dress it how you like.
We’re all to blame for this...and the truth (I think) is that this all took root in the MPs expenses scandal. Anyway, here we are.
