The Conservative Party

[Gorton_Tubster]

Nice they got Cameron in, the architect of all of the shit we have seen over the past ten years or so. A fitting end to the circle of shit that british politics has dredged up since they got into power. The country really was a better place then despite what we are told.

I think the perception of his centrism comes less from his economic posture and more for his social policies which were probably the most liberal of any Conservative government.

It’s easier to look like a centrist when you let gay people get married regardless of how much you’re fucking over the working class.

Yep. Be interesting to see if they start to dial the culture wars back now.

The perception is that he is a centrist.
He's not - his and Osborne's austerity programme was more right wing than Thatcher's economics.
But I suppose perception is all that counts.

His austerity programme wasn’t more right wing than Thatcher’s - not even close in fact.

In Cameron’s first parliamentary term they pushed through just over half as much austerity as Thatcher did in her first term. In fact between 2010 and 2015 Cameron and Osborne reduced the deficit by less than was signalled by Brown’s last Budget in 2010.
