The Nightmare is
for Labour
Dear Sir,
At
last there is light at the end of the tunnel. With the removal of Iain Duncan
Smith a forgettable chapter of the Conservative Party is at an end. The
universal acceptance of Michael Howard as leader will allow the Conservatives
to seriously challenge this failing Labour government.
Michael Howard possesses many of
the skills that IDS lacked; an intellectual approach; an experienced
politician; a “Big Hitter” when opposing the Labour Government; a commitment
to bringing all sides of the Conservative party together; the ability to
attract supporters who are not just interested in joining a club.
The feud between Tony Blair and
Gordon Brown can only grow as Peter Mandelson’s influence grows inside No 10.
This will weaken the Labour government’s position and with IDS in charge, the
Conservatives would have missed this opportunity. Michael Howard will be
better able to lay out the alternative. He will have his supporters united
behind him.
The man with “something of the
night” may be back, but it’s Labour who will suffer the nightmares from now
on.
Yours faithfully,
N Gregor Macgregor
