"She is bereft of any decency or honesty and would probably sell her mother if that would get her a vote or two"

And this would upset the late Ms. Thatcher, how exactly?

Quite the contrary, this sort of behaviour using citizen's tax monies to buy political support which is then used to exploit the citizens by forcing highly unpopular neo-liberal policy onto an unwilling populace sounds *very* typically "conservative" to me.

I am sure that Margaret Thatcher's skeleton is grinning particularly wide today.
