Displaying their usual contempt for facts and evidence, the Mail readers assume that the reason the Tories aren't doing better in the polls is because they aren't right-wing enough.
Hague, Howard and IDS were all trounced despite being up against a highly controversial Labour pm and Cameron, in opposition, only made the Tories look electable again by apparently bringing them back to the centre.

I have still yet to hear from the Eurosecptics, who claim that they are the majority, an explanation for the failure of the Eurosecptic parties to attract a larger proportion of the vote and to win any seats.

Reading the comments in the Mail, one would expect to see UKIP way out in front in the polls.

They (UKIP) nearly overtook the Lib Dems in one poll when the key topic of debate was Europe .... That apparently was a success.

David Cameron faced an honours row today after it emerged at least four Conservative Party donors were given awards in the New Years list.

Paul Ruddock - whose firm Lansdowne Partners made £100million during the credit crunch by betting on the price of Northern Rock shares plunging - has been awarded a knighthood.

Fellow Tory donors James Wates, former Aston Villa chairman Doug Ellis and investment banker James Lupton were all also given honours.

Nothing like a good old slice of Tory sleaze to start the New Year. Don't forget folks, we're all in this together.....

Once again Cameron proves himself the master PR man. Virtually every policy he espoused during the election has either been ditched or trimmed, from the NHS to immigration, City and banking reform to deficit reduction. Yet the public love him for a policy he never announced, picking a fight with Europe. Ho hum, we shall just have to wait a little longer for the public to suss this particular fraud out.

Cameron you are meant to be sorting out parliamentary corruption not adding to it.

Ah another reason to hate Doug Ellis... What were his reasons why he started to support Aston Villa back in the 90's again?

Cameron's supermarket sweep: PM queues up in Morrisons... but was it just a publicity attempt to paint himself like the rest of us?
