Mancie's right.
At least on the surface the Conservatives aren't portraying themselves as being on the politically far right.
Just as New Labour dropped every policy that could be seen as 'socialist' in 1997, in order to appeal to middle England, and thus ensure a victory, the Tories have done the same thing, but towards the centre left.
In theory they are supposed to be caring and sharing, and embracing of all.
Buy scratch beneath the surface a little....
and you find the majority of their MPs don't think the same was as their liberally promoted leader.
