RE: Rats leaving the sinking Tory ship13 Feb 2023 22:59
mick,
It seems as though the Conservatives who are leaving the party, are leaving because the Conservatives are not the party of old - they are a mix of English Nationalists supported by a rag band of rashists, xenophobes, crazy Christians etc. A bunch who never could get enough votes themselves, but as a loose coalition under the Conservative banner have had enough votes for a while.
But without the real Conservatives like Iain they are walking back into the wilderness. Unfortunately, the mess they have created will take time and a visionary to fix. Bring back David Milliband...
