[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] And the old liberal Democrats self destructed, or something like that. Not literally, I would assume, although that would have been cool. [/QUOTE]Why do you think the House of Lords has red leather? It's not actually red. It's the remains of the Liberal Party. Which actually continued into the 1980s (with about 2 seats) before merging with the Social Democrats who were a splinter group of Labour MPs who were pissed off with the ultra-left stance that Labour was then taking. [QUOTE] Is the position with the Tories today at all comparable? I mean, I know the Daily Mail thinks that the Tory party is going to get 150% of the vote next time, but they still seem to be more impotent than a 90 year old man with no winky. [/QUOTE]The 90 year old otherwise known as IDS, I assume? And last i checked the Mail was only saying 140% of the population were Tories. I'm not that sure that the situation is entirely the same; the British population has been traditionally very conservative and I think basically the Conservatives have a severe image problem courtesy of the various scandels during the Major government and several unpopular policies (esp. Poll tax) of the Thatcherites. IDS seems a bit of a wet blanket but to be quie honest I can't see any alternative that would be better. They should have stuck with Hague IMHO; he used to trash Blair during PMQs but he did have that Tory boy image. [/QB][/QUOTE]
