Does anybody find it difficult to select a party based on your beliefs?
The Tories under David Cameron appear so left wing with their hug-a-hoodie type agena they no longer represent the middle and upper classes
The Liberal democrats are now proposing a drop of standard income tax to 16p.
New Labour are about to abolish many local hospitals and are sucking up to big business.
BNP are about to have a muslim candidate in the next general election.
It's all very confusing!

Do you think we should have parties based on class then?
You seem to be bemoaning Camerons shift from class based politics.
Sounds almost as if you long for an old world of clarity where Labour voters wore flat caps and smoked roll ups and Tory voters drank Gin and Tonics at the golf club before driving home in their Jaguars, trying to give masonic handshakes to the police officers who then pulled them over for drunk driving.
I wouldn't get too panicky though the BNP's web site describe the muslim candidate as a fantasy and stress how he's actually Armenian.
I'd never normally dirty myself with their website but this looks rather like the Guardian winding them up and is pretty damn funny:

I particularly like they rant about "internet neo Nazis"

I do find the middle ground is getting overcrowded and if all the parties extoll the virtues of representing some virtual elector confusion naturally follows. We know that once elected a political party will quickly move to the idealogical mean, for a failure to do so will lead to mass revolt within the party. Therefore the Tories once elected will seek tax cuts at the expense of further expansion of public services.
