No, not really. The last Tory government got turfed out for being corrupt and fiddling. Now we know the boss of the “New” Conservatives is dodgy as well. So nothing changes. Let’s face it if the Telegraph hadn’t forked out £300,000.00 to rubbish the Labour Party The Trendy Vicar wouldn’t be paying back the money. The Telegraph definitely thought that they would destroy the Labour Party with the sleaze but it has affected the Tories more. People have long memories and don’t forget dodgy MPs. It won’t take much to remind them of John Major et al. The public aren’t as stupid as The Telegraph thinks, they know the difference between back handers and an expenses fiddle or a tax dodge. Most of them would, or more likely are, fiddle a little bit at work as it is. And they’d all like to be in the position of needing an accountant to help them to minimize their tax liability. Taking bribes most of them wouldn’t do. So the Telegraph has shot itself in the foot. By trying to damage Labour they have fatally wounded the Trendy Vicar David Cameron, his halo has slipped, his cassock is ripped and he cannot hide his Eton Chump background. But with pea brains like Simon Heffer and Boris Johnson on the team what do you expect?
The Daily Telegraph must be kicking themselves, Gordon Brown is stronger than before the scandal, he’s got a shot of winning the next election and managed to ditch most of the New Labour Blairites as well. He’s got a year to push through PR and make sure MPs cannot do outside work. Given most Tory MPs do outside work (not to mention the crooks in the House of Lords) he couldn’t have done a better job of consolidating his own position. Of course he might lose the election, but he only needs a swing of about 5% and he’s looking at a Lib-Lab pact and an elected House of Lords and five years of a left wing government. The Tories will be fatally wounded and Cameron will be skulking back to the vicarage and a millionaire lifestyle, no need to pretend to be a grockle anymore.
No wonder Prince Charles is politicing in the background, it’ll be an elected president next time. Who’d vote for Charlie?
Exactly.
No one. Well, maybe Lord Soames and a few other sycophants. So he might get into four figures. So what?
