I would like them to be as well because I think that's the direction society needs to move in but unfortunately they are not socialist. Doesn't mean however that they are like the conservatives. That are just left of center.
That's still a massive improvement, if only because they are competent. We can look at societal change in the future, but right now I'll settle for effective governance. It will be nice to go through a week without having to hear about 16 different scandals.
The british public are pretty conservative, but the tory party are a fucking wrecking ball and no conservative should vote conservative if they want to conserve things.
