This is a question being asked by Mike Ion. He concludes his post with:

Mike is right that there is almost certainly never going to be a Tory manifesto that talks about "the strength of out common endeavour" or "ensuring wealth... [is] in the hands of the many and not the few". And that is a bloody good thing too, because that is all a load of utter bollocks. The only "common endeavour" we all have is to live. Wealth should be in the hands of those who go out and work hard to earn it, not those who sit at home on their arse all day watching the TV and farting. The opportunity is there for everyone to do that, or certainly would be under a Conservative government. The difference is that some take it, and some don't.

He is wrong that "the history of the Tory party is centred on the core belief that politics can't change people’s lives." Rather, it is centred on the core belief that it shouldn't more than necessary. It knows and accepts that it can, but believes that people as individuals are adults and as such should be allowed to make their own choices in life, not just take a State-directed route from cradle to grave.

Cameron's Conservatives will bring change and hope, because it will rid us of this interminable governemnt with its ridiculous and overbearing love of "targets" and "initiatives" and constant production of gimmicks.

Cameron's Conservatives are for the future. And I am proud to one of them.
