If you don't like the message naomi, why try to shoot the messenger ?
I am merely posting an article that appeared in todays newspaper. I am not sure that the Labour Party is going to need much in the way of help from me, or a spin doctor, as the Tories seem to falling apart at the seams. Teresa May suggested 11 years ago that her party was seen as the Nasty Party but the pointy heads in the party seemed to have learned nothing.
Boris is probably their last chance of victory in 2015. Not another so-called coalition victory but a real, overall majority victory. They have left it a bit late but if they ditched Dave and replaced him Boris, they have a chance of success. But they won't do that of course, so they are facing another 5 years in opposition, as from May 2015.
They elected 4 different leaders in the period of political wilderness between 1997 and 2010. If they lose the 2015 election, which I think highly likely, they will have to get rid of Dave in an inelegant rush. They may as well bite the bullet, risk some short-time chaos, and let him go now.
In his speech, Boles said his perception of the party's image meant that it was hard to sell its core message: "I don't think we have done enough to reassure people about the motives behind economic liberation, that we genuinely believe that you will get better health services or housing or whatever, rather than that our mates who work for private equity will make a ton of money. We have not eradicated that suspicion."
Not sure if there is a cogent answer to that.
