Turkeys don't vote for Bernard Manning....

And politicians don't vote for small government! More news from the Hello dept! So the very act of voting is an act of endorsement for the Statist Quo.Unless the party in question is.. fill in the dots to spare you the repetition.

Our, my party, will do what it says on the label.It is not in the mindless act of conserving tradition re the conservatives or pretending to be a little bit capitalist -quasi capitalist if you will, no Red Tories here. It will not make socialist speeches al la Treason May on the street of 10 Downing st and enact business crippling taxes and regulations and laws, it will not talk about a partnership between business and state and have ministers for everything under the sun and lay out a red carpet for Corbyn to waltz into no 10.

Nor will it make obscene gestures of conciliation to the anti human - capitalist hating envrionmentalist brigades and  pay obesiance to its absurd misanthropic agendas. It won't present itself as the middle way between socialism and capitalism, bowing down to the God of the Mixed Economy, an embodiment of an anti concept and  the law of contradiction.It will not insult the intelligence of the British people  but instead treat them as adults and lay out before them clearly the imperative for a limited state, setting out clearly its proper functions, its role and purpose and how to stray beyond that into meddling in the stuff of people's personal affairs, choices and decisions is to transgress its function and stray into the realm and down the tortuous road to  the authoritarian and totalitarian.

Yes it will with meet howls of protest from all the legion of special interest groups -ie the whole establishment practically and will be rounded on not just by the usual suspects, the Left but the right too who will sense that it poses just as much a threat to them as to the left - which as far as we are concerned - and will make clear, much to their chagrin, it resembles in more ways than it differs.

So winning a popularity contest will not be easy(!) but the very act of making the distinction of clear blue capitalist waters between us and all the rest will be an exercise in enlightenment if we dare to   use such a word, or even a raising of political consciousness in the British public so that even if we meet with no success which in our present culture let's be honest is the most likeliest outcome, it will still have served a very useful educational service for future forays by different actors - who knows, into the rotten at the heart polity.
