Instead of looking at those candidates, whose names escape me for the moment, what of their party? As has often been said and written, this is the most remarkable and successful political party in European history. There has been something called a Tory party in Britain in the three and a half centuries from the reigns of Charles II to Charles III. It was routed three times in the last century, first by the Liberals in 1906.
