Well Stu's post summed up very well why there are millions of decent, hard-working, working class people who would rather have their throats cut than even contemplate ever voting Tory or UKIP. It doesn't matter a fig whether "the Tories run the economy more efficiently" (they don't as it happens and never have done), cut taxes, are tougher on the things you might want a government to be tougher on (it doesn't work when they get tough anyway). They are Tories because they believe in enterprise that is exploitative of ordinary people in the name of profit and because they don't care much for inconveniences such as sick and disabled people, the poor and the unemployed. They do care quite a lot for numero uno's interests. So I think posts like his have an important place in debate, which is damn sight more than can be said for some of your lopsided, stonewalling efforts.
