A Progressive, Democratic Alliance of the Centre Right

We, the people, (to borrow a phrase) spoke very clearly on Thursday.  We want a tempered, politically progressive, centre right government that embodies many of the  fundamental values and beliefs of liberal democracy.  We want the end of the surveillance state, the end of high taxes and government-directed redistribution, the end of attempts at indicative planning and dirigisme whose effects are as baleful as its practitioners are incompetent.

No more installation of a caste of political professionals who administer our society for interests of their own  masqueraded as the interests of us all.  Capitalism works and, under decent government, one day so will most of us once more.

Brown has now become PM twice, without being elected. Frank Field's description of him as "Mrs. Haversham in the attic", seems increasingly appropriate, as he hides in the bunker. Macavity, where art thou?
