non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

The Tory Party

I have been busy this last week so haven’t posted much, I have been saving items I wanted to write about in my draft folder, one of which was John Major’s little missive in the Telegraph,

Thankfully Richard North has save me the trouble

“A prime minister that was effectively destroyed by the European Union, with the party split by the bitter wrangles over Maastricht, and totally discredited by the ERM debaçle, up he pops in the op-ed column where, without a trace of embarrassment, he is telling the Tories how to get re-elected.”

About says it all.

I have also been following the posts on the Tory Leadership Blog but find it difficult to become enthused about who will be leader of a declining political force, that has lost it way in the world, has lost its base followers and has lost its very reason for existence.

I did post to ask someone to wake me up when the Tories decided to become a conservative party and stand for conservative principals, but think I will not be getting a call anytime soon.

After all which real conservative when we are begging for true leadership and real conservative policies, care that David Cameron has launched a campaign with a call for marriage tax breaks, or what The Davis-Willetts dream ticket is, or the fact that The Times salutes Theresa May.
One post worth reading is;

“Tory finances are latest victim of drawn-out leadership process”

“Unfortunately desperately-needed new money is not going to come until the new leader is elected. Donors want to impress the new leader - they have little incentive to pour money into supporting the current lame duck leadership and Central Office team.”
