Get Gordon! Fight Fire with Fire
February 17, 2010 · Posted in Conservative Party
Daniel Finkelstein is not too happy with the newly aggressive approach adopted by the Conservatives in their attacks on Gordon Brown:
The Tories will get burnt fighting fire with fire
To the contrary, the recent ‘Death Tax’ poster, and Cameron’s attacks on Brown, have been the most effective parts of the Conservative campaign so far. I’m sure that if they continue in this mode it will be reflected in a higher opinion poll lead. If they follow Finkelstein, and his softly-softly, ‘look-at-me-I’m-a-nice-guy’ approach, and neglect negative and aggressive campaigning, the opinion poll lead will sink towards hung parliament territory.
Come on, Cameron. Take the advice of Iain Macleod: the best time to kick a man is when he’s down.
