I've never been so insulted in my life

Well, actually I have, but let's not discuss that now. What I'm talking about is the Conservative party's belief that they can get my vote by appealing to my xenophobia and greed. I'm not xenophobic, and I'm not greedy in the sense that the Tories seem to think I am. As I write this, the first results in the UK General Election are being announced and it seems that the Tories have done rather better than the polls had indicated they would. I hope that this does not indicate that my fellow citizens are impressed by Michael Howard's cynical attempt to encourage racism and the pusuit of personal gain. There aren't that many Daily Mail readers, are there?
