305. Conservatives in crisis: Will John Major's be the last ever Tory government? | Mail Online

David Cameron doesn’t understand why he is distrusted by so many Tory voters and media pundits — not to mention MPs in his own party.Whenever he opens a newspaper, he finds commentators on the Left and the Right attacking him.Whenever he turns on the radio, he hears a Tory backbencher moaning about the Coalition’s progress.For many of Cameron’s critics, the attitude towards him is, at best, one of distrust, and at worst, contempt.But what should worry him the most is that, particularly in the past week, it has been people from the blue corner of politics who have been accusing him of being an out-of-touch toff.The Prime Minister believes, not unreasonably, that he has inherited the most difficult circumstances of nearly all of his post-war predecessors, and can’t understand why suddenly he has so many critics.

306. Does a party have to be united to stay elected?

I feel one of the old myths reappearing in the political debate. Some are out and about saying that the Conservative party has to be more united to stay elected. They clearly remember no political history.Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair were both very successful Prime Ministers when it came to winning elections. Both won three in a row with large majorities. Both led divided parties, with very visible splits. Margaret Thatcher faced continuous opposition especially in the early years and at the end, from the so called “wets”, senior politicians including Cabinet members who thought her economic policy was wrong. They regularly briefed the press against her. There were occasional resignations and vocal opposition in the Commons from backbench sympathisers of the rebels.

307. March of The Modernisers: Is it Time to Draft David Davis again?

Amidst the soap opera of Boris vs George vs Theresa and Gove, it would appear that a fervent debate is taking place in the Conservative Party as to the future of its leadership, in the event of the party not winning a majority in 2015

308. David Cameron hints government may bring back 10p tax rate | Mail Online

The Treasury is thought to be considering plans that have been drawn up by Conservative MPs for a chunk of taxable income – probably the first £2,500 – to be taxed at 10p in the pound rather than the current rate of 20p.

309. iDemocracy and a new model party » Spectator Blogs

The Conservative party is a bit like HMV, the bankrupt music business. For years, just like HMV, we were market leaders. We won 44 per cent of the vote in 1979, 42 per cent in 1983 and 44 per cent again in 1987.But like the old music retailer, we have been losing touch with our customer base. HMV sold music the wrong way, via a costly chain of shop outlets. We, too, have been retailing politics the wrong way.We last won a Parliamentary majority over 20 years ago. When we gained office after the 2010 election, we did so having got 36 percent of the vote. A pinnacle of success? Thirty-six per cent would have once been regarded as a disastrous trough.The stark truth we must confront is that the Tory party has wasted away across many parts of the country. In much of Scotland, we are a remote memory. In towns and cities across the north of England, there are not only no Tory councillors, but there have not been any for over twenty years. Even more alarming, perhaps, many constituency associations in southern England exist more on paper than in practice.

310. Labour councillors denounce Ed Miliband's support for cuts | Local Government

It is not just Labour MPs who rely on the trade unions to fund their election campaigns but also Labour councillors. In return the trade unions have reps on the Local Government Committee of constituency parties which choose council candidates.So it is not surprising that Labour councillors are anxious to toe the union line. So they have been attacking their leader Ed Miliband's support for spending cuts and public sector pay freeze.

311. Labour should be ashamed of Rotherham Council | Local Government

On October 12th 2010 Laura Wilson, 17-year-old single mother in Rotherham was murdered by Ashtiaq Asghar. She was stabbed and thrown into a canal. She had been a victim of sexual grooming and was killed for informing her abusers families of the sexual relationships.Social workers on the council knew she was at risk but failed to act. In June this year a Serious Case Review was written (which described Laura as "Child S") but the council attempted to suppress some of the most damning findings.

312. Who are Ukip's new voters? The kind of people who decide elections » The Spectator

An opinion poll to be published next week will reveal that Labour leader Ed Miliband is slightly less popular with the public than the vibrant Islamic State commander ‘Jihadi John’ and the late BBC disc jockey Jimmy Savile, and only two points more popular than His Infernal Majesty, Satan. The same poll will also put Labour slightly ahead of the Tories and therefore on course to be the largest party in a hung parliament come next May, with Ed Miliband as prime minister.

316. UK to Go Further than EU Demands on Plain Cigarette Packs, 'Final Nail in Coffin' for Newsagents

In a reversal of stated policy, the Conservative-led government is moving ahead with a key "gold-plating" initiative that could rile backbench Tory MPs as well as rank-and-file Conservative Party members, Breitbart London has learned.Last week, the government notified the European Commission of its intent to proceed with a controversial tobacco plain packaging law whose provisions actually exceed what is set out in the much-criticised EU Tobacco Products Directive.But the government had previously announced an end to gold-plating, stating in December 2010 that it would no longer engage in the practice by which EU member states go above and beyond the provisions of EU directives when incorporating the directives into their own bodies of law.

319. Is Ed Miliband really backing away from the unions? Left Watch

Yep, the TUC conference is in full effect. Alongside yesterday’s talk of a general strike, we now have the suggestion that pensioners should occupy council buildings in protest at cuts; a “manifesto” for teachers that instructs them to avoid “non-teaching duties” such as supervising children at lunchtime; and — unsurprising, but still deeply unedifying — the sale of t-shirts revelling in the prospect of Margaret Thatcher’s death. It would all make for a grim caricature of the extreme left were it not for one important fact: it’s real.

320. Texas secession petition reaches 25,000 signatures. Even Obama doesn't warrant this conservative...

If at first you don’t succeed … secede! That seems to be the attitude of the folks in 20 states who have reacted to the re-election of Barack Obama by petitioning for independence from the United States. Anyone over thirteen can sign up on the White House website and it requires only a first name and last initial to do so. The petitioners in Texas have reached the threshold of 25,000 signatures necessary to trigger an official response from the administration. The answer will doubtless be a big fat "no" – and Governor Rick Perry has affirmed that Texas should stay in the Union. But it’s interesting to note just how many in the Lone Star state would rather go it alone than suffer "four more years".The mood on much of the Right is pure Götterdämmerung – as if America had just elected Lenin himself.
