Agreed.
Not just because of my leanings either.
In what was the recent past, the two party system, would have probably meant a move to the right would have led to a victory.
The middle England voters only had them and the tories to vote for and if their cornflakes had been p!ssed on like it had been under Major, then Labour would have picked them up.
I was over the moon when Chuka pulled out yesterday.
Hopefully whoever takes charge, can lead them to the left and make them different to the toeies, lib Dems and ukip.
Aspiration was used by Cameron throughout his campaign. It can mean so many things, unfortunately, it has been associated with financial connotations - nowt else.
I aspired to pass my driving tests, I aspired to have a family, I aspired to get my own home, I aspire for my kids to develop themselves and obtain a good education and career, I aspire to gain more knowledge and I aspire to obtain better qualifications.
Tory policy probably prevents or discourages a lot of that unfortunately.
