'Tories have £15m debt'

[Storebought]

It couldn't have happened to a finer party...

The UK Conservatives truly have earned J S Mill's epithet "The Stupid Party." Especially since they elected Michael Howard as shadow pm, they've adopted all the parochial nanny-state collectivism of the Labourites at the same time crybaby-bitching about the War on Terror.

They are true reactionaries--whatever Tony Blair advocates, the Tories reflexively say the opposite (except when it comes to the trivial politically-correct government busybodying; there the Tories can't 'me-too' fast enough).

To hell with the Tory Party. The sooner those geriatrics kick the bucket, the sooner a new conservative party can take their place.

Interesting that the Tories still represent the two rich downtown neighborhoods (Kensington and the City). In the US, those would be the most uppity of Democrat districts--think Henry Waxman's Westwood or Carolyn Maloney's Upper East Side.

And why does Southwark, a 'slum' since Chaucer's day, have a Lib Dem MP? I thought it would be a Labour stronghold.
