And with not many Tory MPs up north, who will a Tory government be influenced by, East Sussex or East Manchester?
Off Topic. (I am against the War in Iraq). Someone wrote that 255 British serviceman lost their lives in the Falklands and 134 have lost their lives in Iraq. I know Blair has come in for stick but we were right to go into Kosova (and did good), Sierra Leone (and did good) and had to go into Afghanistan regardless because of the terrorist training camps. Whilst not a Blairite I think he has been a strong, if controversial leader.

You see im not sure if thats true or not. I don't get involved much locally but the "Conservatives" that I have spoken to like Thatcher but I think its more of a "Saving us from Socialism" like, rather than a passion for everything she did.
I genuinely feel Cameron cares, and he won't just stand there and let the north become deprived of funding and such. I just really can't see it happening. If he gets in to power and things end up like the 80's then you can all come back here and give me a right shouting at for misjudging him.
About the Conservatives in general, yeah it attracts some extremists, but so does Labour and every other party, they're not representative of the leadership. My views were a lot more right than they are now, so people can change, as can parties.
