Imagine that David Cameron is already Prime Minister.
Imagine that the Conservative Party is the only political party in the UK.
Would David Cameron be considered a totalitarian dictator for expelling a member who committed the thoughtcrime and speechcrime of not toeing the party line and therefore deemed to be acting against the interests of the Conservative Party?
The Conservative principles that the Conservative Party claims to support in its party constitution has never been defined. They are whatever the leader and his cronies say they are.
Is this conducive to free speech and robust debate?
What do you think, dear reader?
Would you like such a man who is leader of such a party to be your Prime Minister?
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
