Tory Bolleaux

Wouldn't touch it or them with a barge pole. The tories are as largely reviled by the prols as much as the rest of the Westminster pack are, and are only extending the olive branch to ex servicemen because largely (according to opinion polls) the public still trust and respect HM forces. And will therefore get them elected on that ticket. Its worked many times in the past (Bill Deeds, Willie Whitelaw to name but two). Having "had a good war" still goes along way.
Clem Attlee as well (Labour PM) my personal favourite and I think, a great man. Wounded or ill 3 times due to combat, discharged himself from sickbed to rejoin his men...if we had such people today leading us. But that's all ancient history.
