Is this the time for a fourth party in British politics? We now have three socialist parties: the liberal socialists, The labour socialists and the Conservative socialists. The liberal socialists cannot wait to join Camoron in his latest socialist experiment which is defacto fascism as I explained below.
So perhaps now is the time for a capitalist party.It would share some of the aspirations of the UKIP and BNP re EU and immigration but a radical free market approach to such areas as the NHS and Education system would mark it out distinctly from the three main socialist parties.The BNP are of course socialist as well albeit rather more virulently than the main three.
Conservatives lacking the nerve and self confidence are of course the nearest to capitalist in their policies but without the courage of their convictions always opt for statist sollutions re education and health and are so timorous and defensive about taxation,so terrified of being called names by the BBC and the liberal Guardianista establishment that they are paralysed and when actually moving gravitate towards the centre left of 'judicious' State spending and redistribution. Thus are millions of conservatives left disenfranchised, at the mercy of a weak,compromised and intellectually confused party forever looking over its shoulder for someonone to apologise to for its virtues.
I do not think it is possible to convert the tories to free market capitalsim because they are like traumatised chickens, cooped up battery hens trying to be coaxed out into the sunshine.They will have none of it.Ten years in the political wilderness have made them desperate for power and they will do anything to get it,sell their grandmother down the river,jettison all their values,play to the crowd.
What they don't seem to recognise is that people are crying out for leadership and principles.They know the NHS is bust.They know the education system is in complete meltdown.They would be ready for radical ideas.All they get is cynical,piece meal pseudo reforms,a promise to run the clapped out morribund services more efficiently.They could probably run a brothel more efficiently but it would still remain a brothel. Pausing for breath, in my next post I will attempt to outline the areas where a fourth party, a capitalist party would offer the public an exciting revolutionary approach to the nation's very serious problems and a way out of them.

I'm inclined to agree with you - I had a similar thought a few weeks ago.
So we now have two members.One more and that would be like the SDP and we could meet in a phone box.
