We’re stuck with it, although very much like the Brexit vote itself, the confidence vote might change the direction of things somewhat, so you could argue it is a success.
It is unfortunate that we seem to suffer from a lack of political flexibility in this country, to the point that even career politicians cannot separate the ‘good’ from the ‘good for me.’
I think a nice succinct bit of economic history education might be a good idea, since nobody appears to have any. It is extremely tiresome explaining conservative history to people when I am not even a conservative.
I am not sure why 60 odd percent of the party don’t do any reading, or if they do they don’t seem to understand how to interpret the information. This is not a small issue, and I am starting to see strong similarities with New Labour, which is not a good thing really.
I am also getting a bit tired of seeing the old guard Thatcherites defending Remain when it involves running a deficit forever. I am tired of seeing people getting killed. This just isn’t working, and I am not sure why resistance to change is so much more powerful than allowing business to restructure the economy to bring us closer to ‘ignition.’ Should I bother explaining how the machine works? They would probably pretend not to understand anyway.
Sorry I have not been doing much serious writing of late, I have been messing around with ephemera. I ‘m also a bit lonely at present, hence poking my stalker with a stick for rather dull amusement.
All I can say is consolidate and capitalise, and see how far we can push back. I will give it some more thought.
Good luck,
Ina
