High Tories
I recently read the current Guido Fawkes blog about Geoffrey Wheatcroft's recent article. What truly disturbs me is that the whole bunch (Labor, Tory, Liberal etc.) are all the half-way competent people likely to run Westminster that this country has and that they are all such frightful snobs (or inverse snobs, same thing). I am reminded of a comment once made, probably by Bernard Levin, about West Germany, where it is stated that "Germany since WW2 has no soul". Irrespective of this, and without implying religious or ethnic manifestations or comitments, it really seems that Westminster has never had a soul, always being run by the same bunch of seedy insufferable snobs of one persuasion or another.
Now AV (alternative voting) at least allows the chance to dispense with that problem. I do not offer much hope as all parties to Westminster seem to suffer from too much greed to let AV happen.
