This is what the parent comment is getting at when they say "Tory-lite".
(I very much agree with the sentiment...)
(Hint: It certainly isn't Tory.)
It's also one of the reasons why I will never vote Labour as long as I live.
Same thing happens in many other countries no matter how strongly HN users want to tell you A is literally hitler and B is great.
