but i had something to say. i said it. it just wasn't a counterargument, it was a statement, which i believe is allowed, whether or not it is qualified.

Well,my first vote at the tender age of eighteen was for Mr Blair's brave new Britain,and,quite frankly,I regret that now.After seeing Labour do all the things that so enraged me back then with Major's government,I think I may as well have voted to keep him in.At least I'd have been spared tuition fees.RicheyJames wrote:there have indeed been indications that cameron wants to move his party in those directions. they've also been pretty explicit about ruling out any ideas of campaigning on immigration which also bodes well. i'm also intrigued to see what his stance on drugs is given that he's pretty much admitted to taking cocaine whilst at university.MrChris wrote:I hear whispers that Cameron's Tories will campaign on global poverty and the environment. If so, excellent.
that all leads us to the really interesting question: if cameron's as good as his word and creates a leftish, modern, compassionate conservative party with policies on things like poverty, the environment, etc that you agree with would and their policies on things like public spending remain broadly in line with what labour are doing now, would you vote for him? or will he still be an evil tory bastard? given that his speech yesterday included a symbolic break with thatcherism ("there is such a thing as society") are you prepared to confront your own prejudices and make a considered choice based on policy?
