The Conservative Party

[Fame Monster]

I see the Tories are nationalising Northern Rail.
I wonder how many other socialist Labour policies they're going to copy?

The Tories could wipe Labour out for good if they move left on some popular economic policies associated with Labour.

You could even make a Toryesque, low-tax argument for a lot of the nationalisation proposals too if it ends up saying taxpayers money by reducing the money the taxpayer must pay to prop up a lot of these corporate service providers when they fail to reinvest their profits.

Obviously the Tories aren't that sympathetic to these arguments (and arguably exist as a corporate instrument first and foremost) but the public often are, leaving an area the Labour Party could exploit if they were willing to leave all the other baggage at the door.

Johnson on the telly promising tougher laws on terrorists and and end to early release (which is exactly the same promise that was made after the last terrorist attack ..... )


Why do we waste oxygen on these morons?

Yay! New Tories!

It's called triangulation...

It's been done before.

I don't think that was an example of the Tories moving left.

The better example is probably the post-war consensus.

No to your first sentence and no to your second.

No, that's not true either.

Worry not mate, in your head you guys rule ;-)

No, that's not true either.

In what way was Blair's huge majority not a huge majority.... this should be good.

New Labour critics say they overspent, Cameron’s critics say they underspent and enforced austerity (which they did), they were very different governments.
