I'm a typical Tory

That's something you very rarely read or hear! Why is it that Conservative's like to point out that they are not 'typical Tory's'?
At the CF election hustings in Bristol I think I heard at least 3 of the candidates claim that they were not typical Tory's and that they have chosen to vote conservative.

Congratulations, you have managed to make up your own mind about who to vote for.

I find it amusing that Conservatives will understate the upbringing they had, if they come from a conservative constituancy that is next to a labour constituancy they will say they come form the labour area, regardless of the fact that they lived in a detached 5 bedroom house with an acre of land.

We can no longer say which socioeconomic groups vote for which parties, it isn't that straight forward any more, no longer do factory workers vote Conservative because their boss tells them to, if only typical tories voted conservative they would never have been in power in the 80's.

There are so many 'not typical tories' in the Conservative party today that they have become the typical tory. Therefore the fact I started my life in a council house, was raised by socialists, am related to people who helped set up the Labour party in Bristol and spent much of my school holidays with a Labour councillor and president of a Union in a Union owned house now appears to make me a typical tory.

My First Blog Post

Welcome to my blog. I have been pondering over what to write as my first post. I'll start by telling you a little about myself.

I originate from Glastonbury and moved to Keynsham, home of Cadbury's Chocolate factory(well for the next couple of years anyway) when I was still at School.

I work for the Association of Learning Providers and I am currently studying for a level 5 diploma in Business Management. At weekends I work for Comet, convincing people that they do want to cover their kettle against accidental damage.

I am a Town Councillor in Keynsham, sitting on the Grants working party and the Young People's Liason Group.

I was recently elected unopposed as the Area Chair for Somerset Conservative Future and will formerly take on this role on 14th March.
I am active within the Conservative Party, delivering leaflets, canvassing and I am in the process of setting up a Keynsham Branch within North East Somerset Conservatives.

One of my pet hates is long, drawn out blog posts, so I'll leave it there for now
