Book Review In the Making! From Thatcher to Cameron

Evening all,

Am currently reading a book by Ian Bale called "The Conservative Party: From Cameron to Thatcher". It's a darned sight longer than any of the party's manifestos, so expect a review later on in the week.

What I can tell you about it so far is that, although with what appears to be a considerable anti-Thatcherite, pro-Cameron slant, it is extremely easy to read, and is as impartial as a book on politics can be.

It's also very revealing: for example, former PM John Major swearing. Yes, you heard right: apparently he said he was going to "f***ing crucify the right" for what they did to him. Which, if he'd actually said it in public, would certainly have got rid of the "he's too nice to be PM" tag.

"I've had it with these Eurosceptic snakes in this Eurosceptic party!"

If you want to know more about the Conservatives, it's worth the read. Then again, seeing as it's £25 in the shops, I suspect many would just prefer to read an impartial review. Which hopefully will be where I come in!

Assuming the book doesn't kill me. It is... 391 pages long. Hmm.
