”fake” Conservatism

The term has a different meaning over there. The important thing to take from this is that Brits are moving right-ward, hard and fast. The Liberal Democrat Party was basically wiped out... UKIP (which is for leaving the EU) is now the new #3 party (despite gaining only one seat. That will change in 2019)... and Labour went from 400+ seats in 1997 and 2001, and 355 in 2005, to only 230 now.

Maybe UK is waking up, finally?

I think it’s more a case that the Labour Party and Liberal Democrat Party have gone way too far left, and the Conservative Party has basically moved where the Tony Blair Labour Party was.

Seriously, name me one difference between Cameron and Blair.

Cameron will be weaving and double talking soon and driving people away from him because he spent the latter part of the campaign attacking the SNP and spreading fear about them and Labour working together to form a government.

Cameron is planning to turn around and offer the Scots new powers including control over their budget and taxes.

He’s going to appease the Scottish Nationalists after trashing them.
