So let's address those points one by one:
1. "The Labour Party has been in power for around thirteen years and has become complacent and reactionary. The imput of new blood into the government would bring fresh ideas as well as bring the Labour government to account for its failures. An example of a fantastic Conservative idea is the suggestion to allow the public to table bills in Parliament, if backed by one million petition signatories."
Is this really the best you can do? Any change in power would bring fresh ideas. Doesn't mean they're good. I'll give kudos to the one million signatories idea, but would I trust the Tories to go through with it? No chance.
2. "The economic stimulus it seems was very necessary in order to prevent total economic collapse. However, now that the danger has receded, a Conservative government is needed in these austere times to really sort out the state's finances."
Google Black Wednesday. I'll say no more.
3. "According to our opponents David Cameron's descent from aristocracy is a bad thing. Of course, this is just prejudice and should be completely abhorrent to all rational people."
The same way Gordon Brown is attacked for being Scottish or visually impaired? What's good for the goose...
4. "David is a fan of The Smiths. Need I say more?"
You're a poncy little rich kid with no grasp on reality, aren't you? I bet you're a student and you think this comment is oh-so-kitsch.
5. "He projects a confident image and is an excellent communicator. This is in stark contrast to our current Prime Minister, who struggles to get his message across and is often socially awkward."
Cameron is a PR guru. Do you trust every smartly-dressed salesman who calls at your door? Do you look down on anyone who is not dressed in suit and tie? Actually, I'm guessing you probably do...
6. "Just look at the reasons put forward on our opposing group's page. Mostly slanderous hate-mongering and prejudice. This is in itself a reason to support Mr Cameron."
Translation: "Look at us, we're much better than them." Yep, a pretty standard Tory standpoint.
7. "He has had the best education available in the world, attending Eton and then Oxford University where he achieved 1st class honours in Philosophy, Politics & Economics...surely as appropriate subjects as there can be for a potential Prime Minister. While some may sneer at this 'privileged' background, that is simply inverted snobbery and should be considered as ridiculous as looking down on anyone simply because of their background rather than what they have to offer."
More unsubstantiated nonsense. If the education was so important, why did this not help Cameron in his role as chief advisor to Norman Lamont in 1993? As with any career - you can learn as much as you like academically, putting it in to practice, however...
8. "By voting for Cameron/Tories, you not only get David Cameron [obviously] but a heavy weight cabinet behind him : Ken Clarke, William Hague, Liam Fox, George Osborne, Michael Gove, Chris Grayling, Oliver Letwin, Francis Maude, Theresa May, Sayeeda Warsi and David Willetts to name a few! Take a look for yourselves at the embarassment that is the only realistic alternative : http://www.labour.org.uk/cabinet"
Sorry? You appear not to have completed your point there. What was the term you used earlier? "Mostly slanderous hate-mongering and prejudice"?
9. "Labour's HUGE spending increases (funded by increased taxes) have been used so inefficiently the gap between rich and poor in the UK is the widest since records began despite Labour claiming to look out for the poorer members of society."
Well, we can only imagine how much worse it would be under a Conservative government...
I'll let you finish the rest of the "arguments" off for yourselves. I can only hope that people don't buy in to this shit. I mean, just look at the way the group is written and the language used - you can immediately tell who the target audience is, and you can almost feel them looking down upon us...
