THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY: UKIP
Quite recently the Conservative Party tried to bully the head of the oldest (small-c) conservative think-tank in the country by sending a legal letter to its chairman. Benjamin Harris-Quinney was told by Conservative HQ’s hired goons that he was attempting to “pass off” as a representative of the party via the Conservative Grassroots organisation, which to my knowledge has never professed to be affiliated to the party. Alas, Cameron’s cabal thinks they own the word ‘conservative’ – a glaring error on their behalf, alongside the fact that the law regarding “passing off” doesn’t apply to political parties anyway. Own goal number 2.
But I was reminded of this little nugget by Matthew Parris’s insolent, frothing column in the Times yesterday.
He who couldn’t hack the House of Commons has petulantly taken to the pages of the paper to personally attack Douglas Carswell MP, who recently defected to UKIP.
Consider Parris’s lines of attack as I quote him directly:
“Never trust a man in love with his own probity,” he begins, failing to acknowledge the irony that soon becomes his own sanctimonious rantings.

This quote from the link in the 1st paragraph is interesting....switch out Conservative with Republican and you have essentially the same exact scenario here in the U.S. with the Republican Party trying to crush the Tea Party...
The Conservative Party has in recent years been accused of taking a hostile and aggressive approach to grassroots conservative activists...
