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?

I think you have to look further than the last time they were in office to see what Conservatives are about. Thatcher was the only one to give the party an ideology, look beyond her. Although saying that, she allowed hundreds of thousands to buy their own home and did a lot for the working man in terms of rights in strikes etc, but lets not go into a Thatcher debate here.
If you could supply me with the report by the auditors I could comment further.
