The SNP would surely have been a more appropriate replacement for a man representing a movement based on heavy centralisation, appeals against the bourgeois enemy without and exaggerated claims of fiscal credibility.

Hailsham is one of those places that surprises the uninitiated visitor (partly because it's in one of the safest Tory seats in the country, partly because it is just a posh sounding name) by being a bit of a shit hole
