 Letwin proposes new policy crime 10 Oct 2002 The shadow Home Secretary, Oliver Letwin, unveiled the Conservatives' new policy on crime yesterday. Speaking at the party's annual conference in Bournemouth, Mr Letwin described his new policies as "revolutionary", "brand new" and "pretty damn exciting". "We're going back to basics," he declared. "I've got one word for you and that's zero tolerance. This is not a time for sound bites, but we're going to be tough on policies, tough on the causes of policies. It's our only hope." Under Mr Letwin's new proposals, a new "policy crime" will be added to the Conservative Party constitution. Any party member found in possession of policies will be immediately expelled from the party for being disloyal to the leadership. The party leader, Iain Duncan Smith, is a strong supporter of the plans. "I think it's a brilliant idea," he told a fringe meeting yesterday evening. "I know a lot of us have been trying to avoid policies on a voluntary basis since I took over as leader, but making it official could only help things." Despite Mr Letwin's enthusiasm, though, political analysts predict there could be problems with his new idea. "Technically, not having policies is in fact a policy," wrote Professor Douglas Ramsbottom in The Times this morning. "So introducing a policy banning policies with expulsion as the penalty could mean that Letwin, Duncan Smith and co would themselves be expelled. This could be a successful policy after all."
