Real Politics

Analysing the social and economic impact of government and business decisions; and giving it as is from a very conservative point of view.

Dr Liam Fox

This is what my leadership would be about: sound defence; keeping more of what you earn; less government interference in people’s lives; a sense of family, community and respect for the law; Britain controlling its own destiny.

Ronald Reagan

Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem.

Margaret Thatcher

Let me give you my vision. A man's right to work as he will. To spend what he earns. To own property. To have the State as servant and not as master. These are the British inheritance.

To those waiting with bated breath for that favourite media catchphrase, the U-turn, I have only one thing to say, you turn if you want to. The lady's not for turning.

Benjamin Disraeli

I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.
