Essay:Liberals can't lose in the 2010 UK Elections (view source)

, 00:39, March 30, 2010→Is it all down to socialism?
Note, i've been using the capital Conservative to refer to the party, not the ideology. Partly as British Conservative values have always been quite different to those on this site, especially its links to religious matters. [[User:Aslate|Aslate]] 19:25, 29 March 2010 (EDT)

== Newton's response ==
Alright, perhaps I've oversimplified the matter, but I'd say that it doesn't really matter if Cameron is more popular because of being seen as less right-wing.. but I'd argue that it's still the case that the Conservatives wouldn't go back to their older, more right-wing ways very easily. If he can win after three defeats, then I think the party will in a way be 'moulded in his image.' I don't think anybody would be able to come along in ten years time and say, "Hey, lets be more conservative." I just think the party would be scared.
I accept your point, and it wouldn't be that the Tories get into power because of a more socialist agenda... but I still think it'd make the party more long-lastingly Cameron-like, and pretty far from the party it was under Thatcher.
(Edit: I haven't made my point too well, let me try to rephrase it: The party is currently in the place that Cameron wants it. If he wins, I think it'll "set" in that position, and be much more difficult to bring back to the right wing. If he wins this election, I don't think we'll see a political party with more than 25 seats which would be considered right-wing in international standards.)
