I THOUGHT your readers might like to take the following quotation from Conservative Benjamin Disraeli into consideration before casting their vote: “Conservatism discards prescription, shrinks from principle, disavows progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.”

Being a Conservative, I suppose he knew what they were really like.

Happy voting results to every voter. Whatever that may be.
