Michael Howard the leader of the UK conservative party yesterday made an official offer to Tony Blair to swap party names.
The move comes in the wake of New Labour’s progressive adoption of Conservative policies and the Conservative party’s own attempts to present itself as socially aware and able to take care of the needs of disenfranchised Labour voters.
“General confusion amongst voters over just who stands for what is resulting in ever higher abstentions at each successive election…” Howard told BIGfib. “Independent specialists have suggested that the easiest way to simplify the electoral process in the UK is for the Conservative party to be called the Labour Party and for the Labour Party to become the Conservative party. This way, and only this way will the cohesion between Iconic party tradition and governmental intention be recovered.”
Prime Minister Blair was said yesterday to be “Seriously Considering” the proposition.
