This is true, there are in life few things more dangerous than absolute believers. And this has ever been the problem with the Tories, they've always been passionate worshippers at the alter of this odd belief that the free market will cure all that ails us.
Which is something that baffles me a bit, because if there is one thing the ongoing global financial meltdown surely teaches us, is that the free market experiment has well and truly failed.
I sometimes wonder if the Tories have a feeling that they might only be in power for one term, so they're having to go at everything all guns firing. But then I look at the Labour party and think, yeah, they're still unelectable, the Lib-Dems have pushed the self-destruct button, so I reckon the Tories win a second term just be default.
