  • For a party of Law and Order and Stability and Economic Success, there appears to be (and I would love to be proved wrong here) a lot more "things" the Conservative Party have mishandled in my life.

    Perhaps we need a list and a scoring system?
    And a time frame. Let's go with post second world war

    How about:
    The UK since 1945
    Things that have happened under a Labour government
    Mismanaging the marshall plan money
    Union power
    The NHS

    Things that have happened under a Conservative government
    Hillsboro
    The Miners Strikes
    Unemployment
    The EU

    and not to leave the lib dems out

    Things that have happened under a coalition government
    Tuition fees

  • The list of party achievements is more complicated than you might think. For example joining the EEC (EU) was begun by the Tories, second application was by Labour, third application was begun by Labour and completed by Tories under Heath.
