i dont think you guys want anything to change.
i wrote a long insulting reply to demonrail and tb but as a typed my furious bile it got me onto a different subject and i started thinking instead.
so eventually i will have a blog post up dealing with liberal individualism and its relation to the production of worldviews that overestimate the conservatism of the masses which you can read if you want.

I will read it and, believe it or not, I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying here, at least in principle. I just don't see how it corellates with the way average voters appear to be acting or have acted, at least in my lifetime. I may be completely wrong here, but from what I can see, if the masses aren't all that convinced by for the tories, they're even less convinced by the kind politics that you seem to be endorsing.
I'm aware of the arguments given as to why this is the case but the evidence seems to suggest that it is the case, and until the average voter is able to genuinely relate to the kind of politics you're talking about, it's likely to stay that way.
