Tories and motorists - The Spectator
I know the Spectator is popular with some local forumers so here is an interesting opinion piece from John Oxley highlighting the divide between central Conservative policy and ideology and local Conservative politicians' obsession with defending motorists:"Why are the Tories so obsessed with defending motorists"https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-are-the-tories-so-obsessed-with-defending-motorists/"The [Conservative] party ends up with a petrol-headed populism which rather than supporting individualism, instead takes away freedom of choice, as public and human-powered transport options are squeezed out by car dominance. Driving as an identity overtakes the need for more, nicer, transport options. Cars should always have their place, but often a man on a bus, a bike, or a tram will not be a sign of failure, but of policy success."
