Tories have the right policies? In a nutshell :

The Tories claim that they’ve created jobs : what they don’t say is that this is just a stat as most of them are precarious and don’t pay a living wage (ever heard of workers – mainly immigrants – taking up menial jobs and then having to share a house between 10?) ; they have continued to privatise the public sector because they or their friends have vested interests ; higher education is now a big business open to the very rich (try and work as a social worker or a teacher and pay back a £50,000 loan) ; Osborne borrowed more money in 5 years than Labour did in 13 years ; small businesses are struggling or closing door (simply, far too many overheads) ; benefits for the people who really need them are being dismantled while nothing has been done to clamp down on tax-avoidance by corporations or the mega-rich ; austerity (alias the Mintoffian “issikar tac-cintorin”) is creating misery amongst the less wealthy pockets of the country ; the Tories want to withdraw from the Human Rights convention and from the EU ; home ownership has decreased and so forth.

That is what voters “with sense” vote for”! The bottom line is that the Tories are a Victorian party obsessed with class distinction based on wealth and social background rather than skill and attitude.

I know you are of the Continental persuasion, but pretty much everyone with any sense agrees that the Tories have the better policies. Not perfect of course, just better.

PS: Dear Cameron, jealousy gets you nowhere; better concentrate on your electoral campaign as Joseph is a busy man and may not have time for you.
