Local Tory supporters are privately expressing dismay as opinion polls show support for the party declining faster than the Tory U-turn on car-parking charges.
Here follows just a small selection of quotes taken from a variety of people and reported in the national press :
“PR and gimmickry has replaced substance, that's my charge.”
“I'll give you an example, picking a candidate in Ealing Southall who had no record of service to the party at all and ended up being revealed as a Labour donor four days before the election. That is patently, in my view, ridiculous.”
Former Conservative A List Parliamentary Candidate Ali Miraj who stood in Watford at the last general election, on Channel 4 News, 31st July 2007
"opportunistic chameleon" - warning from Martin Broughton, President of the CBI, on how Cameron could be perceived
Financial Times 6 July 2007
The moral and political bankruptcy of David Cameron's Conservatives is exposed by the Ealing Southall scandal...It show's Cameron doesn't care about the convictions of his man if his image is right"
Daily Mirror 16 July 2007
Isn't it time Mr Cameron gave up his ridiculous stunts and made some luck for himself and his party?
Daily Mail 24th July 2007
Terrified of appearing to be a Conservative, Cameron has ended up as the Hollow Man, mouthing insubstantial platitudes…..Cameron is in danger of becoming a weathercock, responding only to the fashionable gusts of metropolitan opinion
Daily Express 16th July 2007
Leading Britain is a grown-up job for a serious politician. Voters have had quite enough of windmills, bicycles, sledges and huskies. They do not care for the dilettante Notting Hill Set which surrounds Mr Cameron.
Daily Express 21st July 2007
Same old Conservative Party
The Tories are an unleadable party based on a hopeless, seething coalition of people who hate each other.
