He is one of John Howard's "Right Wing Phillip Adams", a delusion as Phillip Adams is a thoughtful intellectual who happens to sound "Left Wing". It is good to hear someone from the nominal "Right" trying to think, but I wish they would actually think things through. They accuse the "Left" of being ideological, when they are actually so ideological as to make the "Left" look pragmatic.
You're right to use scare quotes; for example, very few "right wingers" these days wear stockings and favour Bourbons. (Cf. "progressive" vs. "reactionary" terminology; or for bonus snark, "protagonist" vs. "antagonist".)
