Thinking about the Tories

There will soon be an general election in the UK and all signs point to a Tory victory. It's interesting to take account of what that might mean in foreign policy, especially since they are grappling with some of the issues that we face ourselves in the US. Check out this piece on David Cameron's foreign policy problems: "Tories' foreign policy foibles go far beyond just Europe."

If you're still interested, I'd highly recommend this article on Rory Stewart, who is now standing for a safe Tory seat: "Rory Stewart: A new kind of Tory." There really seems to be a great deal of excitement about his candidacy in the UK, and I am greatly looking forward to following his political career.
