Another dull post agreeing with Militant Moderate

Militant Moderate blogs on the importance of self belief. I couldn't agree more, but would expand the analogy to politics too, and in particular the Conservative party. Their greatest problem is that the public doesn't feel at home with them, but by becoming increasingly paranoid about this they have merely made the matter worse. If they don't believe that their views are right how can they expect everyone else to? Too often in recent years it is some self-belief which has been lacking and which has resulted in pale policies modelled on New Labour's vacuousness. It might just be that a little bit of confidence is returning now and that can breed more both within the Party and within the public - there have been too many false dawns to be sure of this though. What's more, I don't think that winning this general election is quite such a fortunate prize as a Welsh Grand Slam...
