We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

High Noon Seven O’Clock for IDS
In an hour from now, we will know if Iain Duncan Smith has survived as leader of the Tory Party…
…or more accuratly, some of you will know, because I have just noticed that there is going to be a fascinating wildlife documentary about the mating habits of the Northumbrian Lesser Spotted Leaping Tree Vole on one of the documentary cable channels.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

According to Iain Murry IDS lost 75-90.
Now if there were a documentary about the mating habits of politicians, it would really pull in the ratings.
Err, come to think of it, they already did that with the hearings on slick Willie.
And now here comes the nightmare… Michael Howard leading the Tory Party. It will be like having an authoritarian like Blunkett only this time as a major party leader.
New Hampshire here I come.
Howard as leader of the opposition would be the ideal result for Charles Kennedy.
To be honest, at the moment, any leader of the Tory party will be the ideal result for Charles Kennedy…
