I had a (very) long telephone conversation last night about why Conservatives, and not Labour.
My decision is based on the answer to one question: "Which party is best for Britain?"
If you compare this, this and this, I think it is obvious that smaller state, greater trust and freedom to the people (to look after local services, the environment, the local community, etc) lower taxation, and stronger economy will bring the most benefits to everyone living in this country.
I was repeatedly asked why not the LibDems? They were the one who went all out to oppose the Iraq invasion. My answer to this question is, I do not support a party based on just one decision they may have made. To argue that everyone must go with the LibDems just because of their policy on Iraq is extremely short-sighted.
And then there was the compulsory question "Isn't Labour more friendly to the Muslims?". To that question, my answer is that being friendly to Muslims is not necessarily being friendly to Islam, nor does it imply that they are doing the right thing. Muslims and Islam are two different entities. Do not confuse the two terms for Muslims are not necessarily Islamic (should I give an example of how a Muslim can use Islam as a veil for devious behaviour?).

Vote Yvonne Ridley from Respect for Wesminister Constituency!!! Azzam Tamimi once said, “Vote the people not the party”.
But if “the people” represents a ridiculous, Big Brother’s pussy cat, party…

Labour and the left in general, see people as members of a group. So you would be “A Muslim” rather than Wan Saiful. Some people like this, but to me it is deceitful in the extreme and leads to bad politics. It assumes that all your interests coincide with the others in your group.
It is also leads to the assumption that, for example, a Muslim only cares about Iraq, and not also about Jobs, Crime, Mortgage Rates or The Environment, like everyone else. To me that is condescending and I am glad that I don’t belong to such a “Prescribed Minority”.
Take your time watching this clip.

At least George Galloway dare to speak his mind. I could not ever think that Conservative will ever said “Hizbollah Is Not A Terrorist Organization”, yet may be the very opposite.
Can you give me a similar or an equivalent Tory MP who upheld the same view?
