Whilst I am sure that you believe the essence of your conservatism is, as you have stated. But I am much older than you and like many others have a very long memory of what Conservatives stand for.
I know you say that David Cameron has changed the Conservative Party, but the Conservatives have always (and will continue to do so) looked after people with money. It was the Conservative Party (under Thatcher) who set out to ruin the ordinary working people of this country, with the 'no such thing as society'. A recent example of how 'Caring' the Conservatives are is in their actions about the private member's bill to give Temporary and Agency Workers the same rights as other workers, some Conservative MP's attempted to talk the bill out when it came before Parliament for its 2nd Reading .
As regards Conservatives a leopard can't change its spots.
On the subject of Hyndburn Council's reserves - you obviuosly know more about accounting than the Auditors - so what do you suggest would be a prudent level of reserve for Hyndburn Council to hold?
