It was John Major, the conservative prime minister who came up with the idea for the dome. And both the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq were backed 100% by the Tories until it started to go *really* pear-shaped ...

The war in Iraq is a completely different animal. The Conservatives did indeed vote with Labour in favour of military action. Their supporting vote was made on the basis of information supplied to them by the Labour party (WMD's, 45 mins etc) which has since been shown to be inaccurate. Whether that inaccuracy was a result of incompetence and/or dishonesty doesn't change the fact that the Conservatives, along with the general public, were misled by this Government. A Government who had almost certainly already made the decision and merely needed a mandate for their 'crusade' against evil.

Yep, the Dome was a Conservative idea, but when it came to committing to the project they were no longer in power. Nobody forced Labour to spend the money so I imagine they must have thought it was a good idea at the time.

Nice piece of revisionism there fella.
There is absolutely no way that the Tory's would have split from the US over Iraq had they been in power, NO WAY, and to even suggest it shows a complete lack of understanding

The Tories were not in power so what they may or may not have done is irrelevant, and your assertion is nothing more than a personal opinion anyway.
