John Howard rode to power in Australia, and revived that country's conservative party, on a platform of opposition to immigration, robust defense of national sovereignty, and cracking down on crime. Michael Howard of Britain, presumptively the new Tory head, is a Euroskeptic (i.e. defender of British sovereignty) and is identified with Major-era policies of cracking down on crime and trying to reduce illegal immigration. Coincidence? Or some grand harmonic convergence? And what does this bode for Howard Dean's chances? |
