This is it. The End.
All redone, same boring stuff.
What could be wetter than, an English girl, an American man
Humm.

I miss you. It's been too long now since we've seen each other, and Christmas is still so far away.


Seriously for a moment, people talk about how the Tories are becoming more and more like new labour, and I'll agree with that on several points, but not everything. No, some things are distinctly tory.

In an attempt to tackle Elderly isolation and young homelessness in families in one fell swoop, Mr. Cameron suggested that young homeless families move in with Elderly people who live alone.

The elderly people provide shelter, and the families do household chores in exchange he suggested.

Humm. So, it's kind of like having free servants? Now there is some right wing agenda for you. I know this policy will never see the light of day even if the Tories get into power, but the fact he suggested it shows that, under all him 'NHS forever' and 'No tax cuts' left wing appearance, beats the heart of an actual tory.

I'd still vote Tory, though. You can't blame me, seeing as I'm right wing, but not a fundamentalist Christian. I can't vote DUP by strength of conscience, so what else have I got?

Oh, the BNP, of course.

They want me to go to a party for Halloween, but they might have forgotten. I'll know for sure by Friday. I'd really really prefer not to go, because I don't really know the person who is having the party (though, she is a devout Christian, so I can at least count on there being no alcohol, which is a plus) and because I don't want to go in costume.

Speaking of Friday, it's my last day of school before half-term. So far, I have one thing planned for the week. See Borat film.

Wow. My life = interesting.

    I think the point is the fact that Cameron is trying to do Blair New-labour change. In essence the Torys are Torys, of course, but the whole campaign is based on ideas taken from Labour and the Lib Dems, under the facade of trying to be like the Green Party.
    In 1994-97, Blair took the Labour through massive changes, like the semi-name change, logo change, change in stance to reflect popular issues and through tearing away from the socialism that mae the Labour party in the first place.
    Even Cameron is making speeches that refer to the most famous of Blair's promises -
    "Tony Blair explained his priorities in three words: education, education, education. I can do it in three letters: NHS."

    Indeed.

    Also, if the Conservative party is still for Conservatives, why are long time supporters moving over to the more extreme right wing parties?

    Frankly, if you are moving to a more extreme party, then you shouldn't have been supporting the tories in the first place.

    And it's a winning formula, people are dumb enough that even if he just copied Blair speech word for word, they would vote bule, simply because they were tired of Labour. But, not so tired that they want a massive shift.

    I don't imagine that, if elected, the tories will be as left wing as they are suggesting.
