Who represents the real Tory Party?

The two main parties have both moved to their extremes. It's depressing, dispiriting and can't possibly lead us to a PM who represents the majority in this country.
Both parties need to reflect on the results of the recent EU and local elections, on the opinion polls and Think On.

Lots of similarities with the Labour Party then, as many there feel the same about being taken over by a bunch of Marxists.
Will any find the backbone to say “no more”?!

Perhaps both main parties need to take a good hard look at themselves and start over.

It will come as no surprise to some that I am not a natural Tory supporter, but I have been giving the Tory party some thought lately and particularly after seeing the Hard Talk programme with John Major, that the Tory party has become unrecognisable over the past 3or 4 years.

Listening to Major I completely recognised the traditional One nation Tory, whose values are bedded in the United Kingdom, family and a sound economy. In fact I felt surprisingly nostalgic. But it seems to me that this party has now been taken over by an ideology that is so far from this as to be unrecognisable.
These ideologues have dragged the party far to the right, and with each small success drags it even further.

So those who are left are having either to troop along in their wake or perhaps stand and make a fight for the party they once knew and loved.

I hope that they find the back bone to say “no more”
