General Election 2010

Flippant pedants might say that it's the anti-Tory stance is dogmatic and irrational, and ignorant people might agree with throwaway remarks about disapline in schools, and a "family based society", but the Tories have their own agenda to play out.

Which is?

Is that a real question? Are you actually asking for a list of conservative values? I'm happy to play along if you're not be facetious.

Horatio, I'm interested in hearing actual information and not just the obvious, polarising "Tories are scum-sucking bastards and that's that" type comments.

I'd hate to return to a Tory government, but I'd also be MISERABLE if New Labour stayed in.

But you know what conservative values are? And you understand why the type of person who joins the Conservative Party is going to harbour these beliefs? And when it comes to running, they will be minimized as much as possible (small "c", big tent, centrist, etc.), but once elected, they may (will) boil over and become the influence behind the laws passed?

This is the type of thing I was talking about. It's the type of thing the Conservatives will pretend does not exist in their party, and will do all they can to shut up, but could, with a majority election, show itself once they're in power. That is, this is an example, albeit just one, of why the Tories are inherently fucking douche bags.

(Unless you believe being gay is some sort of demonic possession which can be cured by good-ole'-jesus. And if you do, maybe that's the type of thing you'd like to be embraced by your government, and perhaps become a mandated treatment).
