I am absolutely asleep and not quickly skimming with a view to rereading later when more awake. However, while I cannot see Harry as a NeoCon, I can absolutely see him as a classic Conservative who would maintain pensions for the aged and national health at the same time as being absolutely fine with work for the dole schemes and possibly even national service. Someone who would both for protecting the rights of farmers to tell people to frack off and for making contraception free at clinics in a bid to lower the incidence of teen pregnancy
( ... )
The trouble is that, at least on LJ, certain persons (particularly those with starred and striped blinkers thanks to their geographic location) persist in the identification and conflation of everything that calls itself Conservative with reactionary morons in the Todd Akin mould, or with images of Maggie Thatcher down on all fours, rabidly ripping the throats out of Argentinian babies or what-have-you.
And Harry definitely isn't that, which is possibly why their sickeningly blinkered minds go into hatred overdrive whenever it's suggested that maybe, just maybe, he ticks the Tory box whenever there's a Muggle election.
