The Conservative party strategy currently seems to be based on saying nothing to offend and being 'nicer' than the opposition. It's not an unreasonable approach given the received political wisdom that elections are 'lost' by the governing party rather than 'won' by the opposition. Nevertheless, I do think that the severity of the current economic, political and social outlook warrants a rather bolder and more proactive policy approach and they might espouse their policy alternatives in more explicit terms.
If they are true politicians would they not take the opportunity to re-consider their avowed opposition to the break-up of the Union. Surely the idea of Scottish independence is something that all English voters could unite behind?
