Tory death knell
The news that Michael Heseltine supports Ken Clarke for the leadership of the Conservatives comes as no real surprise to me. I just hope no one listens to him, certainly the Conservative MPs who will be selecting the new leader. Michael says that Liberal Democrats managed to attract the professional, publicly employed middle classes. Let them vote Liberal Democrat. I just hope the Conservatives never seek this group's total support. It would be the death knell of the modern Conservative party, disenfranchising more than 8m other voters across England, including mine, who are looking for a traditional Conservative party rather than the currently dumbed down version. This group of voters may feel that modern Conservatives are "privileged and distant" but that equally applies to all the main parties!!
