This
Thursday sees the Richmond Park by election and Zac Goldsmith will
stand as an independent. Young Zac claims it will be about Heathrow
but in a constituency where 72% per cent voted remain I suspect
otherwise. This will be a by election about Brexit Britain. I can
hear the Liberal Democrats scratching at the political casket that is
their coffin. I heard it almost fall off during the Whitney by
election. In this by election a political centrist reverent is rising
from the tomb. In Richmond Parl during June referendum 72% voted to
remain This will be the first test of public opinion since the legal
ruling by the law lords and it is essential that the progressive side
wins.
I
hear that polls put the Liberal Democrats less than 4% behind
Goldsmith. This is turning into a Brexit by election and while I hope
for Liberal Democrat victory on Thursday and I support the withdraw
of the Green candidate and the decision of Caroline Lucas to appear
in the by election I still have very great concerns. The Liberal
Democrats have been moving right since the publication of th Orange
book in the 90s and have supported Nuclear P. There essence is s of
the market mechanism and I can hear Jo Grimond spinning in his grave.
Yet it is essential they win the by election.
We
now hear that Farage virtually endorsed Marine Lepen and I wonder if
he will appear like Trump's poodle next to Le Pem in the run up to
May 2017 in France. As I write I hear that it may be necessary to
trigger article 127 to leave the European Free Trade area and that
this too will be subject to a judicial appeal. Oh dear all that
sovereignty beloved of UKIP.........
Will
Paul Nuttal and Farage lead the march , against the High ciourt,
accompanied by Britain First and the Fat Right ? will they support le
Pen? The ghosts iof Vichy are polluting the shades of UKIP and the
working class followers of that party are being lured into the
company of neo-fascists and crypto nationalists. The Richmond Park by
election allows us a chance to begin the long march against the rise
of the Far Right and its UKIP allies...yet the antidote this time is
a thin serum of Liberal Democracy.
