WHY THE CONSERVATIVES ARE OUT OF STEP!



Excellent analysis by Melanie Phillips on why the Conservative Party is now the Stupid Party.





"The Tories haven't been listening to the people. They have made two seriously flawed assumptions: that staying in Europe and pledging to reform it from within is 'the centre ground' of politics, and that the be-all and end-all of the Europe issue is to paper over the deep fissures within the party. Wrong on both counts. All across Europe, populations are in revolt against the EU project because they realise the threat it poses to democracy and to national self-government. In this country, the passionate anger over the way the EU has already all but destroyed our capacity for self-government over a vast swathe of issues cannot be over-estimated; and that's before people get onto the prospect of the EU constitution."



Melanie is right, Michael Howard is wrong..and the evidence will become visible on Friday.
