Well there was until 'Dave' came along with his all caring, all sharing, hug-a hoodie, nonesense, in the desperate hope of re-winning middle England back from New Labour.
Anyway, off thread.
Rebel Labour M.P.s are likely to block Ms. Smith's proposals, so all the wooly liberals can once again relax.  |
The link you posted was manifestos, obviously they all have them. The Conservatives pre Thatcher didn't have an ideology however. They had a pragmatic approach to policy making. Completely different. I know it's a thread wander but you brought it up and I simply have to correct you here because it's wrong to say they have always been the same party as the one people remember from the Thatcher/Major era.
I'm glad Labour MP's are against it, the ones that dared speak up in the commons spoke a lot of sense.
