Very amusing. Don’t expect you to do the same to the left wingers though.

  Don’t rule it out. It’s on my mind. There are two main reasons why there aren’t any so far. First, the left hasn’t been in power for a long time, so aren’t in the spotlight. Second, some of their names don’t make great anagrams. Jeremy Corbyn’s a nightmare, for example. This is a sentence you may have heard some say but not in an anagrammatic one!
