He thinks the Conservatives should go back to the future to find a new
way forward. By John Sutherland

'Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it
is true that most stupid people are conservative," according to John
Stuart Mill. David Willetts - "Two brains Willetts", in newspaper
shorthand - would doubtless disagree. But the shadow education
secretary is currently trying, valiantly, to force his party to cast
its mind back to Mill's day in order to rediscover a coherent
philosophy.
In a series of speeches to the faithful, he is invoking the names of
Disraeli and, in fact, Mill, urging Conservatives to go back to the
future. The message for the party, he insists, is to be found in its
past.
