Who Will Represent Them? Not The Cameroons

And yet these vestigial right-wingers represent a huge current of working class social conservatism, broadly patriotic, broadly religious, broadly monarchist, against drunkenness, gambling and sexual licence, highly uneasy about mass immigration, hostile to the EU, angry about crime and disorder.

But the Labour Party itself long ceased to represent such people. ~Peter Hitchens

Not that Mr. Hitchens is proposing the Cameroons as an alternative for these voters.  Far from it.  If there is anyone around who dislikes the Tories as much as I dislike the GOP, it would have to be Peter Hitchens.
