P.S. Andrew Coyne on Red Toryism

Here:

But then, Toryism has never been about intellectual consistency, most especially among that strange mutation, now the dominant strain in the party, known as Red Tories. The Red Tory, as the name implies, does not go in much for logical coherence or philosophical frameworks; indeed he prides himself on it. He is guided, rather, by sentiment, and nostalgia, and an unshakeable conviction that everything can be resolved through "dialogue."

Unless, of course said dialogue happens to be with those Alliance/CPC bastards. It's a no-no!
