.@Dianastevenson2 . We have a written constitution. Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus Act, Parliament Act. What we do not have is a constitution that binds Parliament. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah @gareth_wdgaz We need a written constitution as well, with local and regional assemblies taking part.

@ClarkeMicah My interpretation of the 'Declaration of Indulgence' is that it was liberal.

@ClarkeMicah @PMCalver Liberal philosophy (in the classic sense) emerged in the late 18th century some time after James II’s demise

@ClarkeMicah Are you an advocate of distributism?
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
.@pmcalver. Liberal? James II? I never heard that before,. The Bloody Assize was far from liberal, and his fake emancipation of Puritans was just classic divide and rule, and perhaps triangulation too. — PolitiTweet.org

.@calvinrobison. No, it has not. It really only began to become powerful in this country in the mid-1960s. As I have been saying for almost 20 years (where have *you* been?) , no proper conservative party can be created till the Tories collapse. — PolitiTweet.org

@calvinrobinson I used to be convinced this was true but now I'm not. Have you listened to Mr Peter Hitchens' arguments against this?
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
Do not be beguiled by the advocates of Proportional Representation. Not only is not the answer. It weuld guarantee permanent liberal elite rule. See: 'On 'legitimacy' and saving FPTP' https://t.co/xebCp96LNJ — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
@calvinrobinson No we do not need PR. PR would guarantee liberal elite rule till the crack of doom. What we need are new political parties, to replace the two corpse parties. See https://t.co/xebCp96LNJ — PolitiTweet.org
Fr Calvin Robinson @calvinrobinson
We need proportional representation. There is no other way to save democracy in the UK.

Yes @BillEtheridgeuk and I am grateful for the belated recognition, but at that time even the Tory 'right' were so besotted with Mr Slippery, David Cameron, that my urgings went down like a large cup of cold sick. It's not much use discovering you were wrong, 12 years too late. — PolitiTweet.org

Not sure you're right. As long as the elite could confine 'conservatism' inside a party that would never implement any, they could do that. But if the party of government actually disintegrates, they can't. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah @emilyhewertson The media would drown it at birth. Useless political parties aren’t the only problem we’ve got.

@hickeyjamjack. This is all pre-internet, so I cannot immediately find the details, but I had also confronted Mr Adams in Detroit, a day or two before, when he had sought to equate his movement with Rosa Parks and the peaceful Civil Rights struggle. — PolitiTweet.org

@emilyhewertson And I am of the opinion that the cause of conservtaism in this country would significantly benefit from the final collapse of this pointless organisation, and its replacement by a genuinely conservative politcal formation. — PolitiTweet.org

I am of the opinion that the Conservative party would significantly benefit from being out of government for a while.

'Post hoc ergo propter hoc' is tempting, but so often wrong, so I'm sure the sudden cancellation of 400 of my followers was completely unconnected with the fact that I'd recently been critical of Gordon Brown. I advise everyone to resist such crude connections. — PolitiTweet.org
