I don't know if I could really nominate anyone as greatest Tory leader ever. I think an Irish nationalist must necessarily have conflicting feelings when it comes to the Tories. Not to mention a Catholic, since they were the party of the established religion. I'd like to see Rees-Mogg become leader, certainly, but I don't really see how he could save the Conservative Party from its social liberalism at this stage. I have sometimes taken an interest in the Cornerstone Group, the socially conservative and more religious strand within the Tories-- they have been called The Taliban Tendency. They don't seem to be very influential, though. Maolsheachlann no real Irish person can ever express any sympathy or affinity for any foreign conservative party whatsover. The only true Irish americans are democrats . We all know that. And as for the only party who managed albeit unintentionally to withdraw from our much loved and adored European Union well really! After all the best way to show our independence is to surrender it to a club committed to ever closer union. That is clearly self evident.

Mary Kenny has a rather affectionate article on Jacob Rees Mogg in today's Irish Independent. I think it's also on their website. Mary is the nearest thing we have to a Conservative national treasure.

Jacob Rees Mogg has stated life begins at conception , has objected to all abortions and gay marriage in a TV interview. Just wait to see the stampede as Irish TDs give similar interviews.
