Your argument regarding industrial strategy (I believe Theresa May's version was for 30 years) lacks credibility if you never understand why conservatives should always choose the smaller government option. Subsidies and corporate welfare should be eliminated, and instead small and medium-sized enterprises should receive assistance. Once the economic engine, i.e. small and medium enterprises, is revved up, there will be opportunities for tax reform and government decreasing.

Lastly, if you desire a state that "strategic and effectively carries out its core responsibilities," you must choose a smaller government. You are unable to accept "libertarian jargon" despite the fact that it makes perfect logic. I know, they are extremely radical!!!

The fact that commonsense like this struggles to make itself heard above the prejudices held by a large proportion of the party is depressing.
