""In the UK since Thatcher got into power (and for all I know, long before then), you can vote for so-called "left-wing" conservatism, under the nom de jeu New Labour ; or you can vote for so-called "right wing Conservatism",

headed by Cameron.""

As an expression of ignorance of the situation, this is a classic.

By no stretch of the imagination can Cameron be called a "right wing Tory".

The right wing hate the sight of him, purely because he has moved the party so far from the Thatcher ideals.

But he has the clout, and they've had to wind their necks in. I should have thought that some might have noticed his immediate reaction to the expenses scandal.

"Pay back or you don't stand for election as a Tory candidate". Stated on the day of the revelations.

When did Brown follow suit?.....Well, never, actually.
