  What this trend seems to show is that the more right wing and dare one say it ...the more extremist the Conservatives go, the more their membership increases. Wishy washyism is not going down well in the home counties, in the shires, they want strong beliefs in the traditional Tory stuff..like anti the EU for example and with no truck for the Libdems soft sell. But what the Tory faithful at grass roots are having a hard time coming to terms with... is that they failed to win the last election.
  
  Cameron also found that in government isolating yourself from the EU is not an option. Might sound great in opposition but not practical in government. We see on Barrys Blog today how all our economics seems to depend on the state of the EU's finances. Barry talks of triple dip recession here...all based on poor times in Europe.
  
  The interesting thing..as the Conservatism membership sinks the Labour membership increases. Gordie Brown did nothing at all for populism at any level..so membership haemorraged...but its up again since young Ed took hold of the reins. But nothing like in Tony Blairs day...but I guess looking back TB was a bit of a one off phenomenon..."things can only get better" and all that, well it grabbed the imagination.
