What has in fact happened is that the Party has moved appreciably to the right, driven by Brexit zealotry.

Compared to the Tory Party of the 50's & 60's, this version is a pale but dangerous imitation ..

No - that's not right. I'm a constant factor in the Conservative Party, pro EU in 1995 and recently (late oughties) turned anti when their intention to form into a single state became open policy (ever closer union).

The Party of the 50s/60s is a total irrelevance and I'm surprised you bring that into play. Your perspective is entirely one of a Remainer with disregard for the Referendum and GE result.

All we want now is a fair trade deal with the EU and common sense over there might yet prevail.
