I fear the almost manic obsession with Labour leads many to miss the
fact that the Conservative party are lining up their powerful friends
to help run Britain for maximum personal gain.
It seems that one fifth of all prospective Conservative candidates
(the highest of any party and way more than Labour)for the next
elelction are not only going to be our MPs ,but employees of hot shot
city PR firms,representing big multinationals.
This from yesterdays Times ( a Tory newspaper):-

"Dozens of Conservative parliamentary candidates are working in the
lobbying industry that seeks to influence their party’s leadership.

An investigation by The Times has found that 28 prospective candidates
who have a good chance of becoming Tory MPs are working as lobbyists
or public relations consultants on behalf of businesses and other
interests. More than a quarter got their jobs after being selected to
fight seats.

Several acknowledged that they had set up meetings for clients with
Shadow ministers, MPs and officials. More said that they had been
asked to provide advice on the party’s direction. A few admitted to
having pressed clients’ cases to Tory frontbenchers.

The disclosure challenges David Cameron’s promise to usher in a “new
politics”. More than a fifth of his 150 candidates most likely to win
seats for the first time will have done public affairs work, although
a handful have since left the industry. By contrast, only seven Labour
and three Liberal Democrat prospective candidates with realistic hopes
of victory have jobs in public affairs or communications. "

What are your views on this bit of rank fiddling? Don't for one minute
be thinking that a new Tory government will be working on YOUR
behalf,because they won't.
The splendid President Obama saw this coming of course ,and
immediately after gaining power introduced a two year ban between
working in government and then moving into the lobbying industry (and
vice versa of course.
Still,nice work if you can get it......
