In the March survey of Tory members we asked this question:
"Listed below are all the main UK-wide policy areas. In which area does the Conservative Party have impressive policy ideas that will help win the next General Election."
Crime was at the top of the list. 68% of you thought that the party had policies on crime that will help us win the election.
Interestingly, culture, media and sport was at the bottom of the list. Although you voted the abolition of the BBC monopoly on the licence fee as the best policy innovation of 2007, you like it intrinsically rather than electorally. That's probably the right judgment.
Since when do the Conservatives have "impressive policy ideas" on Europe?! Their policy thus far has been to avoid having a policy.

Only 41% of Tory Members, who presumably are the best informed by visiting this site, believe Europe - which determines (or soon will) all else - is an area where the Conservative Party have impressive policies.
What the devil does the Tory Party propose to do about that?
The transcipt of a speech to the Bundestag by a German MP who understands the real danger is on my blog with a video link.
Conservatives everywhere should be deeply ashamed of Cameron's front bench team.
