The government's policy of setting up "free schools" is all about giving parents more choice. So should they be able to choose to send their children to a grammar school? So thinks the Conservative MP Graham Brady. He resigned as a shadow minister three years ago over his party's policy of not supporting more selection in schools and outlines his views.

Wow.  A Tory politician who resigned on a point of principle!!  I thought they had become extinct.  Graham Brady is obviously someone to watch then.

He may also be interested in my idea of  the New Model Comprehensive which is a kind of selective comprehensive for all.

If he was a real Tory he wouldn't have been there in the first instance

Where would real Tories go?

They wouldn't have anywhere to go because that party is now the Liberal Party.
They could of course join the BNP or some other group like the New Right but there's no money in that and Tories always follow the money.

This makes my idea of a one-party state where the rights of members are protected from the leader and his cronies even more compelling.
