Question for historians and jornos: is Hesgeth the first fascist to make a speech on a Normandy beach in 81 years?
Looked at another way: Leave/Right bloc: 47% ; Remain/Left bloc 51%
But Remain/Left bloc more evenly split despite being bigger, so Leave/Right bloc does better under FPP. As in 2019 with Johnson's Leave coalition. But that could change if left bloc vote coalesces nationally or locally
Breaking: it turns out that a strategy that literally every political scientist went 'No, don't do that. That's nuts!' is, in fact, nuts.

Reading this reminded me how during the Thatcher years Bernard Crick suggested Labour was the party of Burke. One could understand the appeal of such a stance - but more now than then there is a real desire for transformative policy making.
