So what if Tory candidates don't care about the environment?

I can't understand why anyone thinks this is news:
ConservativeHome asked Tory candidates to rate 19 policy issues on a scale of one to five, with five being the most important. Only eight of the 141 Tory candidates who responded gave climate change five marks, the lowest number for any issue.
Yeah, that's 'cos they are Tories, for fuck's sake. They are not the Green party. They are not going to be obsessed by the supposed problem of climate change, in the same way that the Green party isn't going to spend a lot of time thinking about marital tax breaks. And personally I'd rather the party most likely to become the government before the year is out focussed on real issues facing this country, like the shafted economy, the two wars we're fighting and the decimation of civil liberties under Labour rather than made up tripe about the environment.

Not really surprising seeing as the climate change cult is so pervasive atm. Anyone that doesn't sign up to their agenda is pretty much demonised.
