This lot are new Tories of the "I'm all right Jack" wing. The old "one nation" Tories had at least some idea of looking after those who were never going to vote for them. This current lot couldn't give a shit and are only interested in looking after No 1.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-27874034341521403242014-01-15T14:14:01.792+00:002014-01-15T14:14:01.792+00:00TS, "who to vote for" is easy.

Not saying they were perfect, but there's a lot of stuff that Thatcher and Major did right. And I think Hague has talent, but sadly shot his bolt too early.<br /><br />But this lot are old Tories of the noblesse oblige wing - looking after people rather than leaving money in people's pockets to look after themselves and just muddling along not rocking the boat. This talk on the EU is just that. They've had plenty of opportunities to throw spanners into the EU if they'd really wanted to. <br /><br />The only thing I think they've done right is capping HB, but even that's still at a high level. Raising the income tax threshold was down to the Lib Dems.<br /><br />At least Labour want to build some houses...Tim Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369256383976094670noreply@blogger.com
