From a British Tory to the GOP

It's advice for the post George Dubya GOP - or maybe the current GOP, but point two in particular is the one messing up Canada's right wingers. It's also the one Harper seems incapable of getting past.

• It won't get better. It will get worse. And it will keep getting worse until you do something.
  
• You have to be very honest with yourself about what voters think. It may not be the same as what you think. Confusing these two things is very easy. Untangling them is vital.
