A
UK Teabagger-style group has gone the way of all such things.
Daniel Finkelstein explains:
The idea of this venture was to knit together a loose coalition of independents, exercising their own judgment but linked together by a desire to mend broken politics. Their only core shared policies would be a programme of political reform.
It seems they have now abandoned this idea - and therefore any purpose they had.
They are now advancing a series of policies on, say, limiting troop numbers in Afghanistan or having army style training camps for prisoners. And they will "require" candidates to support these ideas.
In other words they are imposing a tighter whip on their candidates than other parties. The opposite of the idea they began with.
Hilarious.
