Friday, March 17, 2006 Keeping tabs on the British Tories Anyone who is interested in what's going on with conservatism in Britain and is lazy (like me) need only check into Paul Tuns' blog to keep up. Paul points us to a piece by Deroy Murdock from NRO, laying out in detail how new leader David Cameron is, for all intents and purposes, abandoning conservatism. The British Tories' proposed policy document contains lines such as "We believe in the role of government as a force for good ... It should support the shared experiences that bring us together — such as sport, the arts, and culture." as well as "We will put economic stability and fiscal responsibility first. They must come before tax cuts." These may seem fairly bland and harmless at first glance but as Murdock points out, they are basically code words for centrism. The Cameron story is one to keep your eye on. # posted by Adam Daifallah : 12:56 AM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
