Great News Everyone!

After the Tory party failed to make huge strides in the recent by-elections there are mutterings of a recall and replacement of David Cameron as leader.

Which seems overly harsh to me, as expecting Conservative victories in the Labour heartlands seems unlikely to say the least. Voters who were protesting against Labour were much more likely to go Lib Dem, and indeed that's what happened.

But with any luck this will lead to the return of the massive infighting that destroyed the Tory election chances for the last 10 years, drag the party back rightwards (where their base seems to be steadily aging/shrinking) and produce a sea-change in the make-up of UK politics.

Ok, make that "with a _lot_ of luck".

They mostly are, but there have always been some that weren't evil, just stuck with a bunch of Loons. Cameron was trying to pretend that he was one of the non-evil ones, and keeps pushing Boris forward because everyone knows Boris is alright.

Thing is that the Tory base/heartlands are too stupid to realise that most of us hated Thatcher and everything she came to stand for, and dream of some "clear blue water" policy that will let them win.

Tory party can rip itself to shreds; the sane minority can then leave and we might have an opposition to NuLab that isn't evil. That'd be nice.

It would indeed.
