He lost 1 million votes to to right parties, whatever you may think of them, and consequently lost 30-40 seats to Labor.<br /><br />He lost because he is not conservative; he is one of the effete eletes.robert of ottawanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-7859439590946941442010-07-30T07:05:01.231-04:002010-07-30T07:05:01.231-04:00Exactly.

Before WWI the Liberal Party (in office from 1906-1922) introduced the rudiments of the Welfare State into Britain. Leading exponents of this strategy to preempt the Labour vote were David Lloyd-George and his friend Winston Churchill. But the Labour Party was the real exponent of this type of government, and the Libs only half-hearted (since many of them still, at that time, believed in freedom). The voters who liked the idea of the welfare state went over to the party that really believed in a welfare state, and support for the Liberal Party collapsed. They are now the Lib-Dems in coalition with the Tories, and they have even stupider ideas today than they did when Edward VII was King.<br /><br />Voters who believe in a system of policies will always move to the party that really believes it and abandon the party that doesn't. That killed the Liberals. It will kill the Packs if they try to compete in offering stupid policies from expediency and opportunism, against the Jackass Party, whose members really belive the stupidities they spout.Michael Lonienoreply@blogger.com
