In reply to: Ed Harris (UK) 's message, "Infandum... iubes renovare dolorem" on 11:10:46 12/23/04 Thu

The Conservatives need to come off the fence and return to the values that brought them success in the past. Oliver Letwin (alias the Scarlet Pimpernel) needs to remove the skelves from his posterior, and promise wholesale tax cuts and a reduction of the power of the state. The Conservatives need to stop imitating New Labour rhetoric on public services.

A radical agenda, based on traditional Conservative principles might tempt the people back to the fold, if the amorality and incompetence of the incumbents does not.

I propose radical policies such as:

1. Immediate repeal of all New Labour legislation that is either politically correct, discriminatory, bureaucratic, or otherwise pointless.

2. A Written constitution limiting the powers of the state.

3. Withdrawal from the EU, becoming an �associate� member with a free trade agreement that we voted for in the 70s. (This would put UKIP out of business).

4. An equitable and workable federal arrangement for the UK.

In addition to the not-so-radical policy of:

5. Punishing criminals, and building the prisons necessary to make the work, along with mandatory minimum sentencing to curtail the senile judges.

I will not publish my whole program just yet � I�ll save that one for Government�
