Tories spend £40k on....
this 
Designers were paid £40,000 to replace the traditional torch emblem with an image representing "strength, endurance, renewal and growth".
Looks like labour will be in again if this is the best the tories can manage.

Even some Tories dont like it!

It's so eighties - like Budgens design with a few colour splashes......
I'd have done them a good old brown envelope
For Labour I'd do a sort of Nelson's column type thing with Blair in uniform on top and a smiling pigeon with a Gordon Brown face sitting on his head ****ting on him.
For Libs I'd do an old man in a wheelchair being pushed by a load of camp..... Don't get me started

Apparently, according to an expert 'inside source' close to the Tory Leadership ......
......... the emblem came about by a disgruntled Tory scribbling '******' in front of the word CONSEVATIVES - giving the general feeling throughout the country as '****** CONSERVATIVES'
An accurate description - but - David Cameron came along and scribbled over the word ****** with a green crayon ..........
......... the effect was so attractive to his supporters that it was adopted as their new emblem
Ask the next Tory you see whether the word ****** is hidden under the green scribble - if they say no then they are a lying scumbag and should NOT be voted for!

but you are 1 person amongst millions, its what the general public think as a whole, not just one person, the conservatives NEED the younger peoples votes, and they wont get them while there seen as a stuffy old group IMO
i ****en hate politics for what its worth, but i can see exactly what they are trying to achieve here.

How about something radical Dave? How about policies that the voters care about and that affect their lives???
The trouble is, like big corporates who can't see the wood for the trees, they believe their own marketing b&!!sh)t!!!

the buildings were all "updated" in appearance to help draw in more females, and it worked.

The clockwork chameleon just seems to come out with statements that are far from what we want to hear. When it comes to an election he will get a nasty shock if these are all the policies he can think of.
About time we had a real leader who is not scared to hammer NL for their rubbish attempt at governing and their efforts in doing away with Great Britain.
