Conservative Party Commits Suicide
George Orwell | 18.10.2005 17:00 | London
It is with absolutely no regret that the Conservative and Unionist Party have committed suicide by rejecting the one candidate who could have beaten Blair or Brown.

Once again Thatcherite ideology rather than common sense has prevailed amongst conservative MP's. The only possible downside of this event is that New Labour may well win the next election just to keep-out right-wing loonies like Fox, Davis or Cameron.
It just shows how irrelevant and out of touch that they have become to vote for right-wing nutters when the entire country is to the left of Tony Blair. It is as if Militant Tendency had got hold of the Labour Party and Degsey Hatton was up for leader.
But let us not be sad at such a time. Let us dance - on their political grave and hope that Maggie is next!
