The struggle between the main political parties has been reduced to
an unpopularity contest, in which voters hold their noses and sigh
as they trudge to the polls. Peter Hitchens explains how and why
British politics has sunk to this dreary level - the takeover of
the parties and the media by conventional left-wing dogmas which
then call themselves 'the centre ground'. The Tory party under
David Cameron has become a pale-blue twin of New Labour, offering
change without alteration. Hitchens, a former Lobby reporter,
examines and mocks the flock mentality of most Westminster
journalists, explains how unattributable lunches guide coverage and
why so many reporters - once slavish admirers of Labour - now
follow the Tory line. This updated edition of Hitchens's The Broken
Compass (2009) features a brand new introduction. In an excoriating
analysis, Hitchens examines the Tory Party's record in government
and opposition, dismissing it as a failure on all fronts but one -
the ability to win office without principle. The one thing it
certainly isn't is conservative.
