As residents of the Yeovil Constituency I feel it might be
helpful to let you know a few home truths in the wake of the Eastleigh by
election.
Before the disastrous election of David Cameron as leader of
the party we were always Conservative voters.
We've been so appalled at his leadership after such
side issues as gay marriage, his support for establishment figures
presiding over failing institutions, his promises of jam tomorrow in relation
to the EU referendum, the ECHR and clawing back powers from Brussels, all of
which are not possible while we are members of the EU, and many others like the
planning debacle, green field development, HS2, and mad energy
policies such as wind power etc that we no longer recognise the
Conservative party as representing the sensible values and traditions
we've always held dear.
We now see a rising party in UKIP that does
represent those traditional Tory values with many cross party policies that
appeal to the other main party supporters also. We are now fully paid up
members and will vote for them at all elections in the future until such time
as they too fail to live up to their manifesto promises, barring the
almost impossible scenario I detail below.
We see the Conservatives as having no hope of winning in 2015
and this is borne out by the thousands of comments I see on Twitter and
Facebook every day by folk who feel exactly the same. In one word
betrayed.
There is a way back but I think the chances are so slim as to
be negligible
The Coalition must be ditched and Cameron must be replaced by
someone with a more Thatcherite view of politics. Then we should be given an EU
referendum before the next election. This is the only way you'll put UKIP out
of business and possibly regain our support and the thousands like us.
Cameron will not deliver on his promises because it
isn't possible. Nobody believes or trusts him anymore and he comes across as
an arrogant, doesn't listen, doesn't care toff not in touch with
public concerns. In short he's running out of time fast.
I've taken the trouble to write this because I have no wish
to elect another Labour administration by default, but we will if this is the
price we have to pay to reclaim our country and a proper Conservative party
with it
