This is the first in a series of films about the decline of democracy in the Tory Party. This is an issue which should concern everyone. If our political parties are undemocratic organisations, what legitimacy does a government have which has been created out of these undemocratic organisations?
This first film which was created several years ago tells how the people of Northern Ireland were allowed to become members of the Tory Party. Your views on this are welcome.
