Republicans: Note the Tories

Do the Republicans in the U.S. think they have nothing to learn from the the Tories in the U.K.?

If so, the R’s may want to reconsider, given the T’s strong showing in recent U.K. elections.

Granted, those election results may have less to do with a sea-change in U.K. politics than they do with old-fashioned dismay with the incumbents.

I suspect it’s a combination of the two: The Tories’ steps to reformation made them electable; the zeitgeist gave them what, as of tonight, looks like a landslide.

Then again, it would be appear life is not (yet) all roses for the Tories.
