    We have a traditional compact with voters. They might suspect that we are self-promoting posh boys and money-grabbing wotsits, in politics for no good reasons. But if we are bstards, at least we have been competent bstards, ritually elected to clean up after Labour’s habitually profligate compassion. The last few years have ruined that. Without competency, we are just b*stards.

    This quote right here shows that what voters suspect, is in fact true.

    As for “Labour’s habitually profligate compassion”, oh no! Not compassion!

      What more do you expect from people who think that culture war nonsense is a good way to practice government?

      Might work in the US but in the UK all it’s done is piss everyone off. Mostly because the only people who actually subscribe to that kind of theory already voted for them anyway. They gained no one by doing this.
