No substantive blog post today, sorry but I was too busy to write one last night and I'm too busy today as well, but I do have a mini-blog about The Donald. The cause of conservatism around the world is growing. The elections in Venezuela has seen socalism defeated by a right-wing party and our own historic win in the General Election this year cannot be understated.
The Republicans in America however seem to be veering off course from this conservative revival. They have been doing very well recently but The Donald can hardly be called one of their success stories when he seems to have created a split in their own party so vast that there are threats of a splinter campaign if he should fail to be nominated.
This level of infighting is something I expect from Corbyn's Labour not a solid bastion of conservative values. Yes some people are saying The Donald is reaching out to disaffected voters once thought lost to mainstream politics. We in the UK however have seen the problems that such a huge gulf of opinion with-in a party can have - it shattered us in the 1997 General Election and it has taken us 18 years to regain a majority government.
To my view the Donald is hurting not helping the cause of Conservatism.
