My favourite question on those lines was by David Cannadine's young son. In the 1980s during the political heyday of a Certain Personage, he asked, 'Daddy, are men ever Prime Minister in this country?'John_M said:Daddy, what is a UKIP?
Cannadine thought it was so representative of Thatcher's dominance he wrote it into her ODNB entry.0 -
Yes. However, moaning about the EU is entrenched in our national psyche. If UKIP disappear we'll just have to create another vehicle for it. Especially if the Conservatives declare their Brexit deal a triumph of historic proportions...0
