He was never of the nasty Orange persuasion (much) but his thinking is interesting - and gives some hope.

I’m in the same boat, though I have not cancelled my direct debt as yet yet. But what makes me sad / scared is not only losing faith in the party I’ve supported for 16 years, but finding that there is no political home for someone with my principles in the UK.

A definition of 'principles' of which I was previously unaware...
