But for an alternative, the right wing would be deserting the Conservatives. The party has lost sight of its principles and what it stands for and I don’t believe I am alone in believing this. In fact, from ConservativeHome quoting the Daily Mail, this is what one learned commentator had to say:
“Mr Cameron has, so far, ridiculed the case for lower income tax, proposed higher taxes on air travel, denounced the Government’s modest health reforms as ‘frenetic’, suggested that hoodies need to be ‘loved’ (though not, now it seems, hugged), campaigned against public expenditure control, down-played the Atlantic Alliance and refused to back the overwhelming case for nuclear power. The party’s self-hatred is truly amazing. It has gone to such extraordinary lengths to express regret that it has even re-written history in the process.” - Robin Harris, former Downing Street advisor to Margaret Thatcher
Let’s start embracing right-wing thinking shall we?

I didn’t even vote in the local elections last time around. Doubt I will in the next general election, either.
Any vote for Conservatives would make Dave think he has a mandate. I think we are just as well off with a New Labour government as with a Blue Labour government. At least Labour can boast of an underlying ideology when it imposes transnational social engineering on us…Dave just wants the press to love him.
