The conservative party uk the oldest political party in Europe is in a all time low.The end of its recent annual conference finds it casting to find a role.Onice the strongest party in the uk it still retains a membership of about 250,000 members but many of its activists are aged 80.The drift towards the politics of the countryside alliance which appears to be a rump of some of the most reactionary people and current in British society suggests its option for survival are limited.It is been outflanked on the right by the Labour Party that boasts its law and order position.Its natural links with big business and the dynamic interaction with PFI.The level of suspicion of party politics is at a high as the suggested levels of corruption.A good time for the left to grow perhaps?Not if it continues with the bland old ideas that have proved so untasty in the past.
