Politically aware people, maybe. The ones who count - the swing votes - the "current casual Tories" who don't really take much to do with politics other than vaguely sometimes reading the papers and then going out to vote are sadly still just as duped as they were when they bought into the bulls**t back in 2010. They believe that the previous Labour government made a big mess and got us into loads of debt, and that Cameron / Osborne / the current Government have "balanced the books" with their austerity measures.

Conservatism is a really interesting ideology...well actually its many interesting ideologies and this is why so many 'traditional' conservatives are now standing up against these neoliberal charlatans and saying "enough". Neoliberal conservatism is very much a contradiction of every other conservative ideology and so if they want to survive politically, some changes will need to take place.

I just ignore those who still believe the Labour party brought this country into disrepute and that the conservatives are the ones trying to restore our country because they simply haven't been interested enough to find out the truth and if they are not interested enough to follow general politics from all sides, then they aren't going to be interested in anything I have to say.

Good post again TS.
I was more a Conservative in 2010 although I voted Lib Dem, however I did not hold Labour responsible for the financial banking crash that came.
In fact I feel it may have been worse as David Cameron said Labour was regulating the Banks too much.
So he would have regulated them less had he been in power.

I did feel they could have done more in govt to prepare for harder times but that financial crash hit all major Nations around the World.
I thought Labour did the best it could in the circumstances and also did get us out of recession by 2009 and also had us heading back to around 1% growth too by the time 2010 came in.
