Tony has subsequently labelled them religious extremists

Given the church population is an aging polulation, the Tories could have less voters in a genteration then.

The problem is the damage that they could do in the interim.

yeah, they could vote in a government that ignores the population, takes bribes from tobacco and help start a war that has caused upto a million deaths with no legal basis, "robbed" billions from peoples pension funds.. oh sorry that's not the tories.

I am not saying New Labour are any better. They have exactly the same problems.

apropos of the topic at hand, the problem they don't have is the demographic one the tory party do (i.e. that their core voters are reaching the point where they're starting to keel over). They have a younger constituency, in the main. The problem they have is their younger constituency is less likely to actually walk into the polling booth and put a across against their candidate's name than the other lot's are. Research suggests thew new generation of voters are more interested in issues than parties.

True but the main parties and Labour do not even address their constituents issues because their policy is geared to the very rich who fund them.
