Bring Back The National Liberal Party?

The National Liberal Party was chaired by John Poulson.

But anyway, the Conservative Party has been defined by the takeover of the fairly bovine Tory machine by successive waves of Liberals: Liberal Unionists, Liberal Imperialists, National Liberals, the Institute of Economic Affairs, Alderman Alfred Roberts's daughter, and now the Lib Dems.

That is what the Conservative Party is. It is a device for making Tories vote for Liberals, and a device for making Tories believe that Liberalism is Toryism: "free" market economics, interventionist foreign policy, and all that.

But the Tories never set up the Liberal Unionists, the Liberal Imperialists, the National Liberals, the Institute of Economic Affairs, the Liberal Party of Alderman Alfred Roberts, or the Lib Dems. How ridiculous that Nick Boles, a total Liberal, imagines that anyone might fall for such a ruse.

What is presently the Conservative Party would be better advised to reconstitute separate parties in Scotland and Northern Ireland, possibly joined by one in Wales, and certainly joined by one in the North of England.

The deal would be that in the event of all of those parties' collectively having an overall majority, then they would form a coalition, with the Leader of the largest party as Prime Minister. Otherwise, though, those parties would be entirely separate from each other.

There is no hope for the Tory and Liberal-Conservative interests outside the South of England otherwise. And that is why they will not do it.
