DC and loyalty

What's this all about? Tories altready having a go at whatever chance we have of winning the next election?
There is a distinct difference between the Old Tory Party ( which has lost the last three elections, and would certainly lose the next one) and the New Tory Party. The old guard need to realise that Labour's policies, however much we dislike them, are clearly not at odds with the general mood of the country. Afer all, if all you do is appease everyone and knee-jerk react to situations, you are seen to be doing something. Actually, you are not, but the perception is that you are. So what's not to like?
The Tories need a Clause 4 moment. Labour so desperately wanted power in 1997, that they would have done anything to achieve it - and that included speaking with one voice " on message" and dumping unpopular policies.
So don't deride DC for sounding somewhat vague. Vague keeps people on side until a policy is promulgated.
And don't behave like Ali Miraj and the Chairwoman of Newark Conservative association ( see http://www.dizzythinks.net/) .
Tell the Conservatives what YOU think. Listen to what they have to say.
And maybe - just maybe - David Cameron WILL be the next Prime Minister of Great Britain
