Following the ascension of Lord David Cameron to the position of leader of the Conservative Party there was a influx of people whose political views were more suited to the Liberal Democrats than the Tories. They looked to the Normies like moderates, a world away from the sort of ‘Monday Club’ Tories and Thatcherites that had become electoral poison at a time when the economy was still good and Blair still had, apart from the Iraq War business, some degree of goodwill from the public.
Tacking towards some of the social changes that had occurred since the Tories were last in office in the late 1990’s by taking for example a more magnanimous attitude to Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals or similar changes, was probably a good tactical move. Cameron recognised that attitudes had changed and that he had to take the party to where the bulk of the voters were.
Unfortunately, what Cameron also did when promoting those who might have been better off in the Liberal Democrats was to build into the party all the machinery necessary to completely screw up the nation. We should remember that it was on the Tories watch that we got the lunacy of the Cult of Trans and how it was the Tories who facilitated this cult’s entry into the corridors of power.
It was also under the watch of successive Conservative Prime Ministers that we got the monstrosity of Net Zero imposed on us which has crippled British industry and left the nation in an extremely precarious place with regards energy availability and affordability. Labour has indeed made the Net Zero nonsense much worse than it was but it is the Tories who laid down the foundations for this disaster.
The Tories are completely to blame for Net Zero, the smashing of the rights of women and children by the Trans Cult and the disaster with Britain’s borders. They were in power for fourteen years but failed to tackle many of the problems the country was faced with. They never rejected Net Zero, they failed to reform the Equality Act or the Human Rights Act or undid any of the constitutional vandalism that occurred during the years of Blair and Brown. The Tories failed to manage the country for the benefit of the majority of its inhabitants.
About the only success that can be laid at the Tories door is the Brexit Referendum. They gave us the opportunity to choose freedom and we did but the aftermath of the Referendum was badly handled. The Lib Dems who have posed for so many long years as Tories and who were slavishly aligned to the European Union failed to ensure that Britain left the EU on terms that were favourable to the nation as a whole and its constituent parts.
There are some signs that the current Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch understands the magnitude of the damage that the Liberal Democrats with Tory blue rosettes have done to both the party itself and the country. Ms Badenoch and her leadership team are now looking at barring from standing as Tories those who might find the Liberal Democrats a more appropriate political home.
However this purge is not consistent. The Tory party has allowed Penny Mordant to stand in future as a Tory Candidate despite her record as a minister not being shall we say ‘stellar’. She didn’t manage her role as Armed Forces Champion all that well and she has been connected with support for the Cult of Trans. There’s nothing about Ms Mordant’s record that would make her out of place in the Liberal Democrats.
But there are others in the Tory Party who might be better off in the Lib Dems who are less high profile who have been removed from the Party. Ms Badenoch and the party leadership have recently removed approval from Andrew Boff, a well known and voluble ‘one nation’ Conservative, to stand as a Conservative candidate at elections. I agree with this removal. Whilst he has done well and performed well as a regional London politician the Tories were correct not to allow him to have a seventh attempt at standing for the position of London Mayor. Whoever in the Tories stands for this position needs to be someone who can get into the Polling Station for them those who have previously not voted and thereby reduce the impact of the whipped mosque vote that goes to the likes of Sadiq Khan. Sadly Mr Boff is not that candidate. He was also not prepared to sign a declaration by the leadership that he would support Britain’s exit from the European Convention of Human Rights and he has been extremely loud in his support for the Cult of Trans, including getting kicked out of a Tory Conference, for demonstrating in support of that Cult.
I can well see a time in the future that if Mr Boff had continued in the Party he would have become a right royal pain in the arse for the leadership, Ms Mordant on the other hand may have made promises to keep her mouth shut and vote with the leadership when necessary which is maybe why she is in and Mr Boff is out. His views are also out of step with that of many Britons at a time when we have a judiciary, working under the auspices of the ECHR and the UK Human Rights Act, that is reluctant to put the interests of Britons ahead of the interests of invaders.
I agree with Ms Badenoch that the party needs to remove or neuter the political current in the party that is tainted with blame for the party’s failures in the past. It does need to rid itself of the Net Zero fans, those who wring their hands over ‘refugees’, those who are closet or not so closet Remainers and the ‘transwomen are women’ crowd. The Party needs to do this to move the party closer to where the current electorate is and as much as possible distance the Party from the disasters and wrong turns of the past.
But this policy needs to be seen as much more consistent than it is. It’s right to get rid of Mr Boff over the ECHR issue and his voluble support for the ‘transwomen are women’ crowd, but there are others in the Tory Party who also need to be removed or who should have been removed when the opportunity arrived but were not. Kemi Badenoch has a fight on her hands to make the Tories much more conservative and therefore electable than they were when they were last in office. She’s got a lot of Lib Dems in Tory clothes in the party and some of them might be difficult for various reasons to dislodge, they will then have to be managed as an internal irritant but an irritant that could cause immense trouble for the party if they are listened to by the leadership.
