I consider myself a liberal conservative, rather than a conservative liberal.
I would definitely consider voting Liberal, if it would make a difference. But if things are close next time, then keeping Labour out is more important.
On the far right of the party: I think the leadership are strong enough to deal with that now.

I always thought the conservative party faithful was made up of racist old ladies like the old girl that pukes from little britain.

As a floating voter, In the past I have always found my ideals and those of the conservatives conflicted. Recently however as I have come to understand more about the economy, globalisation, the tax system etc, I find my views allign with those of the conservatives on a lot more issues than they conflict with.
They may well be proven right on their stance on Europe and the single currency before 2009 is even over!
They understand that the Private sector is responsible for Wealth Creation and therefore oils the cogs of the financial system in the UK and they also understand that to stifle entreneurship and aspirations to make money (for joe public that is) is a bad thing.
Keep basic rates of taxation low, keep tax on jobs via NI low and ensure you maintain a balance of payments on public finances and the rest kind of fits into place.

I know a few members of the Conservative party, and their private points of view are more akin to the BNP. It scares me that these view points are still around at the grass roots level in the party.
However I think there is a true understanding higher up in the party, that the direction of DC is the right one.
It's clear all of the major parties recognise they need to be centrist in public to have a faint chance of getting into power.

Do you think your views are representative of the modern conservative party?
I think we need to know before deciding on who should replace the Snot Goblin.Tags: None
