“THE alternative universe that never happened. Two men, both depressed, entering coalition talks and having it fail spectacularly. Yet what if! On one side you have a grumpy ex-military bachelor who’s completely antisocial and loves his piano, on the other you have an energetic showman on his second marriage who plays the violin. One was most likely gay or asexual, the other was either gay or bisexual. And Jeremy talked about him so softly during the coalition talks: “I am sorry, this is obviously hell - a nightmare on stilts for you. Somehow I personally hope we can work something out.” “I am not very close to Ted but I think he is by far the most able man we have and I would be perfectly happy to serve.” Them bonding through their shared love of Europe. Them struggling to get along due to their clashes in sociability. The fact Heath once accidentally drove into Thorpe’s car and refused to apologise. A mess of a man meets another mess of a man. And they did care for each other even a little bit. Oh also I should probably note that some political cartoons at the time of the 1974 coalition talks portrayed Thorpe as a kind of seductress trying to lure Heath in.”
