| Reorganisation of this Page; from November 2015
The links which I have been collecting since 2005 on The Ideology of the Conservative Party under David Cameron have originally been listed in chronological order. However now that the list is a fairly long one I have decided that from October 2015 onwards the most recent links will be listed first and these will be followed by the original chronological list from 2005 to September 2015. You may also click here for links from May 2015 to September 2015.I hope these changes will help those visitors who are looking for most recent developments.
It's over but I shall be adding more overall assessments of David Cameron's Premiership
