1979 Tory manifesto
Cuthie links to the 1978 Tory manifesto, which hitherto has been unpublished. It's a fascinating document, partly because of some strange phrasing which reflects the limited ambitions and better natured debate of the time, e.g. we aim for 'reasonably stable prices', or 'while Labour have not caused all our problems', which would just be 'stable price' and 'Labour have caused all our problems' today, but more generally because how much more intelligent, well-written and basically intellectual it seems than today's manifestos.
