It seems there is more than just rumours of a new Conservative party rising.
I've long said we need something to unite all of the Conservative factions in UK politics, essentially by a merger of the independent Conservative parties that have sprung up in the past decade.
But now there appears to be a party arising with some bit hitters behind it.
The rumours of the Farage/Johnson alliance and them starting yet another political party on the right may not be just rumours.
The day Boris resigned, the "National Conservatism Party" applied to the Electoral Commission to become a new political party.
It remains to be seem if this is "The" Conservative party that Nigel Farage was talking about a few weeks ago when he let slip he was talking to some big names in the Conservative movement.
It will be interesting to see if Aaron Banks is er, Bankrolling this new party and if it's just yet another right wing party to split the right wing vote, or if it can garner enough support to draw members away from Reform, Respect, UKIP and the like. Hopefully with big names it can gain gravitational force to pull members and candidates from the other parties.
But it will have to move quickly. Although Farage has the ability to amass a following in double-quick time, just look at the Brexit party and how quickly it created a movement that posed a real threat to the actual Conservative party.
The only downside is the name: National Conservatism, sounds a lot like National Socialist. But if the far left radicals are going to call you a Nazi for being moderate, you might as well do a bit of trolling at the same time eh?
Start wearing black shirts? Get Hugo Boss to design some merch? The options for trolling could be endless.
Maybe the party could have "We Care For the Majority" as it's motto? So that when some minority has a go they can say "We don't care about Minorities, we only care about the Majority".
Because one of the main failings of the political system over the past few decades is pandering to minorities to the extent they think they can rule over the majority. Well, it's about time the majority put minorities exactly where they should be: nowhere near government policy.
Also no Marxist polices should be tolerated within the party. No identity politics, no gender ideology, everything should be based on sound scientific fact. No feelings allowed.
But anyway, the connection to Farage and Johnson is just mere speculation at the moment. But we'll see.
