Iain asks…
What turned it round for the Tories? Well for a start they listened to Tory (like Iain) and Tory-aligned blogs (like this one) have been banging on about doing away with the death tax. The Tory Party pledge to radically curtail it and sigficantly raise the threshold…then what happens? Well the Tories do better in the polls. So I am going to give the credit for helping the Tories turn around to we bloggers.
NB: I was in a meeting with Osborne not long after Cameron took over. I asked about a Tory policy to end “the death tax” which I called immoral, marxist & mean-spirited and Osborne waffled. Guess how the audience reacted to my question? Yep, you got it; they cheered and clapped (ok yelled “hear hear!” & “sound!”)
