I'm working from their total inability to explain their policies in any 
terms except buying and selling, and complete floundering when asked how 
these policies would work for people who didn't have the money to buy. 
For examples, William Hague, Peter Lilley and Michael Portillo during 
the late eighties and early nineties. They try hard to present a much 
warmer and more flexible face now.
