However since I have come to detest Brown, Harman and most of the front bench team, and cannot take the Lib Dems seriously (since they did the dirty on the UK in 1977 in keeping the last bereft Labour government in power) then Cameron will get my vote this time, also helped by the fact that our Tory MP seems to be doing a relatively decent job, and her Labour opponent is just a gobby journo from out of town who just parrots number ten spin.Mulliganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445624135697167219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-37702100870919239652009-02-28T21:57:00.000+00:002009-02-28T21:57:00.000+00:00There's no point in breaking eggs if you don't kno...There's no point in breaking eggs if you don't know what sort of omelette you intend to make. You may be conservative but I doubt that you are actually a Conservative. <BR/><BR/>I grew up in a Conservative household and I joined the Labour Party. I know that I am highly unlikely ever to vote Labour again but I am more likely to do so than to vote for a Conservative candidate.William Gruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434757003701117714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-23961139025530208432009-02-28T19:56:00.000+00:002009-02-28T19:56:00.000+00:00Yes, bothy the original article and the quote by "...Yes, bothy the original article and the quote by "G" are pertinent and apt.<BR/><BR/>I am particularly reminded of our budget-setting council meeting on Thursday just past, where a very few eggs had to be broken in order to make our area's omelette successfully — but it was a very good budget indeed, despite being (of necessity) a little less than perfect.John M Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251285057595626917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-11723463729003068932009-02-28T19:28:00.000+00:002009-02-28T19:28:00.000+00:00G, good,G, good,Daily Referendumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899003349232334603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-63016812393543801992009-02-28T19:16:00.000+00:002009-02-28T19:16:00.000+00:00"I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good ..."I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few." Benjamin Disraeli <BR/>That's what being a Tory means to me. If Cameron's Conservatives follow that and Peel's ideas on policing, they will deserve to win by right and not default.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358349301959327747noreply@blogger.com
