UK Parties: The Conservative Party

[Ironing Man]

6. agreed.

the paucity of political ambition from either Labour or Tories is utterly dispriting - most of what they're talking about barely even qualifies as tinkering around at the edges. what they haven't grasped in seeking to appeal to as many voters as possible is that they've blanded themselves to the point of irrelevence.

where's the 'build HS2 to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Swansea and Truro'? where's the 'build 500,000 affordable/social family homes by 2022'?, where's 'double the size of the RN's escort force to the number Labour said were required in their well-regarded SDR of 1998 - 35 if anyone is interested?', where's 'halve housing benefit/LHA to get the buy-to-let reptiles out of the market?'

i know its nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses to look on every generation of politicians as inferior to the previous ones, but the current lot are just woeful.
