Welcome to the Common Sense Revolution.  For too long in Britain today, politics has become a pointless scramble over the meagre scraps from the politically-correct agenda of the liberal elites.  Taxes will always get higher, the European Union will grow stronger and stronger - soaking up the independence of nation states with each new treaty - and our society's moral values will continue to be in decline.  Everything liberal, sadly, is purported to be inevitable.  Not on my watch! 

Yes, that’s right, I am a social conservative (hence the abbreviated pseudonym 'So-Con’) and believe, as Presidential candidate Senator Sam Brownback does, that "our country's greatness comes from its goodness".  If we lose our goodness, we will certainly lose our greatness.  

Where have the conservatives been?  On so many issues, our leading ‘conservative’ representatives have fallen silent or given up.  Gay marriage, family breakdown, abortion on demand all permeate society.  Not one day goes by where there isn't another story about conservative retreat in the culture war.  It seems, from the face of it, that there are fewer and fewer social conservatives out there who will stand up for traditional values, those that have been the bedrock of a stable, prosperous society for generations.  Well, we at the Common Sense Revolution aim to stop the tide of defeatism and unfettered liberalism.  

In my posts I aim to stand up for traditional conservatism in Britain.  I will speak my mind and express my values, those that I believe are best for Britain, our society and our culture.  So, do keep reading, whether you agree or not, and hope you enjoy what we have to offer here at this site.
