- The Tories have become a bunch of scaremongering big-government fuckwits - and that is why they will lose the next election whoever wins the leaderhip ballot. "Minister for Bird Flu"? Fucking morons!
Note to Tories - the thing that separates you from New Labour these days (well, bar the fact that you're perennial losers and they keep on winning) is simple: your history of promoting the rights of the individual against the state, and the commitment to small government that goes hand-in-hand with that. Creating additional ministries, with additional layers of bureaucracy and expense, is not only idiotic but a betrayal of your party's once-proud history. Keep on like this and you'll have lost my vote for ever, rather than merely for the time being.

Not entirely fair, that. Mercer is calling for a dedicated Minister for Homeland Security, really because he is the Shadow Minister, and has no-one to rant about. Still, he seems not to have realised the point of the Home Office.
Precisely - Home Office, possibly Defence at a push. There is no need for a separate department, or even a separate ministry. Waste of time and money.
If the Tories really want to cut down on governmental waste they shouldn't propose creating MORE departments, but to scrap existing ones. To wit:
Major, important departments to keep in bold, ones that should be subsects of them underneath (all off the top of my head, so I've probably forgotten a bunch) -
Treasury
- DTI
- Work and Pensions
Home Office
- DEFRA
- Culture, Media and Sport
- Education and skills
- Health
Foreign and Commonwealth Office
- Defence
Lord Chancellor's Department, Cabinet Office, Northern Ireland and possibly Defence could be considered special cases. But I'll say this much, if the Tories don't propose scrapping the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and all that that entails, they're a bunch of idiots.
