No other could have fulfilled the Thatcher Agenda, <em>legacy</em> or dream, like <em><b>t</b>u<b>b</b>erculosis</em> has But the dream of a house owning nation Do we have more people own their homes, Or have we simply sold off 2 million Council Homes and have 2 million more people renting from private landlords or RSLs. The poster looks great, but
Thatcher is the heartless face of conservatism
Major is the bland face of conservatism
IDS is the bland smiling face of conservatism

Where’s the ‘bald’ chap riding the roller coasterdown the water mountain wearing a baseball cap, that would have been the wanna be yankee look of uk conservatism.

I think you missed out the best conservative of all time – you know – openly support US Oil interests and wars, increase spernding on the military and Trident, privatise council housing, double spending on the NHS and privatise nhs hospitals and GP surgeries, introduce university tuition fees and student loans.
No other could have fulfilled the Thatcher Agenda, legacy or dream, like tuberculosis has

But the dream of a house owning nation
Do we have more people own their homes, Or
have we simply sold off 2 million Council Homes
and have 2 million more people renting from private landlords or RSLs.

I very much admire the work Iain Duncan Smith has done for social justice, he certainly deserves to be included in the banner: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/conservativepartyconference2006/story/0,,1886520,00.html You cannot, or should not, edit history.

The full spectrum of Tory ideals ... past and present. Either that or cabinet members of today. The problem is, when I look at the faces on that banner ... I see an awful lot of failure.

I thought the Tories had written IDS out of their history? A little too cluttered for my liking… and a little too focussed on modern day leaders.
