Two of my fellow Sharpener writers have set up another group blog, Once More. Do go and have a look as it has the makings of some stimulating and interesting reading.
It is a site dedicated to getting the Tories back in government, so clearly I hope its aim will be a resounding failure, although the site itself could well turn out somewhat more successful.
From a quick glance at the initial postings, it seems the good people at Once More are going for the 'small-state, low-tax, vaguely libertarian' option for the Tories - something the party itself seems unlikely to adopt ('public services are safe with us, mate'). It will be interesting to see how calm the writers remain as they see the party they hope will win the next election sail ever further away from their goals....
Thanks for the plug - much appreciated. We're not actually endorsing any particular strategy yet, and although some of us are small-state pseudo-libertarian types, we have some hanging-and-flogging social conservatives to even the playing field. They just haven't sharpened their metaphorical axes and come looking for us yet.
