It took one term in office - during which they had to stick to the original manifesto on which they were elected - and then they reverted to type with socialist tax and spend policies in the following Parliaments.(The Tories did nothing btw)<BR/><BR/>Brown's plan was to ditch the 'post-it note' all along. Of course he would have been 'unassailable' if he had stuck to it - but that wasn't what Brown was about. He's an old fashioned socialist and has got away with murder and the Daily Mail editor aided and abbetted it.<BR/><BR/>We now witness the Conservatives up to the same trick - to get into office as the 'nice' party whilst sticking to Gordon Brown's spending pledges. Some people honestly think that they will change to become 'real' Conservatives part way through office.<BR/><BR/>So let me think - that's 2 years to the next election ... 4 years of the first term of office pretending to be something else ... SIX YEARS before we can expect anything like the policies that this country needs.<BR/><BR/>But here is another point - I don't think that the Conservatives want to be Conservative any more, like the Labourites they want the power for its own sake. What you see now is exactly what you are going to get.<BR/><BR/>Ordinary people have no voice. Britain is finished.electro-kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18073103431166273080noreply@blogger.com
