This is not  but a legitimate counter-factual historical argument.  The influence of Freemasons on British public life has been a notable subject in recent years.  This is a significant contribution to that.  While the article is largely based on the work of one academic, it is based on proper academic sources.  These are summarised in the article.  Furthermore the |synthesis is not that of the WP author, but that of the academics quoted.  Note: I have just tidied up some of the unnecessary repetition in the reference apparatus
