If proof was needed that the Tory party’s hierarchy have
lost touch with their core supporters you only need to have listened to Tory
Party Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, who told us on ‘The Andrew Marr Show’ - "The
Conservative Party is "united" and David Cameron is showing
leadership on Britain's relationship with Europe."
Before the recent local elections, David Cameron described
UKIP as “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists” now one of his closest friends
and tennis partner has allegedly described Tory Eurosceptics as "mad,
swivel-eyed, loons" - Is really any wonder that the Conservative Party is
steadily losing members at constituency level in droves?
Cameron and the Eton elite are destroying the Tory party, and encouraging die-hard supporters to join UKIP which points to making a deal with UKIP the only viable option!
My greatest fear is that unless those at the top of the
Conservative Party come to their senses and start putting forward true
Conservative policies, we could be looking forward to a long period with Labour
in power. ...Then we would all reap the whirlwind!
If the Conservative Party intends to survive as a major
party, it must genuinely start to reconnect with its core voters, and if that means embracing UKIP, so be it!
Make no mistake, when one looks at the state of today’s
governance, we are all poorer for politics!
A story I may have already blogged deserves repeating.
ReplyDeleteIn the 1980's when I was a mature undergraduate at Salford University I attended a lecture by Prof. David Marquand. (ex-Labour MP and chief assistant to Roy Jenkins during the latter's time as EU Commissioner.) The Prof informed us that senior politicians and European leaders had already decided that there was to be a united Europe, the only question had been how and when? It was decided it would be done gradually rather than swiftly, so as not to alarm the public and also to get people used to Euro-dictatorship.
The lecture was never reported in the press.
So there you have it. Eurosceptics are regarded as enemies of the Euro-state. their views and consequently their support are irrelevant. they are fair game for criticism and sabotage. They will be called "Nazi" "racist" "little Englander" while at high levels in their parties State-agents will wield power and sabotage the party by ludicrous actions and ridiculous statements.
As with the BNP and now UKIP
