The odd thing is that it is left-wingers, not Cameron, who have lurched to the right
It’s not hoodies. It’s not single mums. It’s not even jittery City whizz kids down to their last ten million. No, it’s lefties we should be furrowing our collective brow about. We shouldn’t worry about the threat they pose to society (even though successful countries can survive anything except civil war and socialism). It’s the fact that they appear to be suffering a crisis of faith.
It is a crisis which disproves the claim that while the Right won the economic arguments, the Left has at least won the social ones. And it helps explain why our Labour Prime Minister demanded ‘British workers for British jobs.’ And why the question should be not, ‘Why is David Cameron lurching to the right?’, but, ‘Why is everybody?’
