Flanagan's defence of Tory's

... Mr Flanagan has fairly defended small steps taken by the Conservative party, as well as reasonably argued the virtue in avoiding alienating those who might be adverse to "radical reform".
... However, it is inexcusable that he should be so condescending to those not so quick to compromise principle for power- those that he declares need to develop a more "mature" relationship with the party- those who might believe that we are not actually moving "in the right direction", but that we are not moving at all.
