Letter: Old Tory virtues forgotten

Sir: Some general election candidates might do well to read the 1959 Conservative and Unionist Manifesto. This states: "Conservatism is more than successful administration. It is a way of life. It stands for integrity as well as for efficiency, for moral values as well as for material advancement, for service and not merely self-seeking."

How times have changed.
