Bridge reckons the tories are purely for the haves as opposed to the have nots.

Are you sure you are describing them? You see you are describing Labour as well.

I wish reality was as simple as the la la land of Bridge. Wouldn't life be more simple?

The reality is that doctrine doesn't win either way on the basis that everyone can aspire to a better lot so every post war government has tried their take on social democracy.

Sometimes successfully sometimes not. Sometimes competently sometimes not.

But never polarised to the point of that portrayed by shallow people.

This lot? Incompetent and stuffed with a few of Bridge's bogeymen. But they are show boating. Tory doctrine can't win an election any more than eat the rich spartist nonsense.
