Ferdinand Mount
Mount mangles the Tories
I found this opinion from Ferdinand Mount in the Daily Telegraph somewhat stark and interesting.The contest for the Conservative Party leadership is becoming as much a tangled mess as that drawer in the kitchen which we all seem to have!
Unless they rediscover the radical democratic reforms and free enterprise and free trade outlooks of previous years (i.e. offer a REAL alternative to the government), then they are in serious danger of becoming increasingly unelectable.
As a former party member I am incredibly dismayed at the lack of real policy initiatives that would fire me up or inspire me, the candidates for the leadership are banal, boring, and unlikely to appeal. What used to be known as "the Church of England at prayer" looks desperately in need of divine intervention!
