It's toff at the top

I thought the first 20 minutes of the programme were fairly damaging, although this was somewhat undone by the following half an hour of Hitchens revealing not much more than his own bizarre reactionary sentiments.

It was amusing that he considers FPTP to be completely blameless for 'triangulation' in spite of the fact that it inevitably leads to a race for the centre ground. Thus why he could only lump all the blame for the de-conservatisation on one man's shoulders.

Yes Hitch, not like the good old adversarial days is it? Think of all those poor global-warming-deniers with no one to vote for. The heart bleeds. Bring back Tebbit!
