I think you missed the point Mr Red unless you are just trying to be funny and publicise your own web site (very good by the way).
I started the thread after it was annouced that David Cameron had one the leadership of the conservative party.
78% of the conservative party voted and 67.6% of those that voted voted for him.

Labour or rather New Labour won spectacularly well in 1997 and it was a combination of events. It would be nice to able to say which one factor over all was the main contributer but a lot of this is open to debate. I believe we have started in setting up the "factors" that we have control over and there is still a lot of work to do.
I have previously been quite succesful in adopting a consensus aproach within comittee work but that was admittedly within a local government setting and not in full council either, it will beinteresting to see if parliment will change to adopt this aproach in the chamber. If it is achieved, (and it will take more than one person on either side of the political party spectrum to realise this)it will be the most fundamental change in uk politics since the creation of the Labour party.
