Why can't they do that without the socialism and the anti-semitism? Or is the anti-semitism part being exaggerated by the left?

That's a very negative portrayal of his views, to pinpoint 2 areas where he's indulging in realpolitik and then exaggerate them. Michael Howard promises a new era of Thatcherism. He's the only politician with a chance of beating Blair, and he happens to be a damn good one. The EU superstate died last year. It's simply not the issue inthe UK that it was before Iraq. He's engaging in conversations with other European conservatives on how to turn the EU into something more favourable. As for gays, he's on record as being anti-gay so we'll see if his words turn into actions.
