It's not like the Tories *like* the NHS. They don't. They'd privatize it in a hear beat. But they couldn't w/o being destroyed at the polls.
@JonathanCohn Maybe a portion of the party. But NHS is embedded enough in the national psyche to be defended on institutionalist grounds.

@mtracey I'd beg to differ on this. Tories have been increasing privatization of the NHS internally and cutting its funding overall. - 2 more replies
