Here's an interesting article in The Financial Times on Michael Howard, the Tory candidate for UK MP, who seems to be showing some great merit in his campaign and statements. It's about time that Howard turned on his Thatcher charm and brought the Tories back to the forefront in the UK politics. Just look at what Howard has to say about the EU and China's arms-embargo:
The Tory leader attacked the prime minister for his “obsession” with the EU, and said lifting the embargo could jeopardise British jobs in the defence industry. He added: “I oppose any moves by the European Union to lift the embargo on arms exports to China. We need the government to make a clear, unambiguous statement on where it stands.”I'm starting to like Howard, he might finally get the Tories over the hump. After reading this article I'm more enthusiastic about Howard. It seems the Tories are pushing more Thatcherism especially in policies like re-negotiating EU treaties (If a "no" vote squashes the EU constitution) or reducing redtape/regulations. Small government conservatism at it's finest, sounds good to me.
