The Conservative Party today is nothing like the Conservative Party of even the 1960's. In those days there were still powerful people who believed passionately in Britain remaining a strong, independent nation, that genuinely put the country and its people first. Gradually over the last forty years it has morphed into the present opportunistic organization that seeks power at any cost to serve the interests of the wealthy elites that control so much of the nation. It adopts and jettisons policies at the drop of a hat, posturing like New Labour, in the hope that the electorate will still believe that the old gang parties are the only ones to have solutions. Its desperation for the ethnic and other "minorities" votes often to the detriment of the much maligned white working class has seen it as patronising and untruthful in its attitudes and desires as Labour and the facile Liberal Democrats. In reality they are like different salesmen flogging the same discredited product, flanneling the public with stories of doom and gloom if they look for an alternative one.
The last true Tory leader, one who genuinely put Britain first was probably Winston Churchill. Certainly Edward Heath was the worst
