As with the conspiracy theory offered by the other side, the only reason for giving this theory credence is ideological.
Here, for once, is a conspiracy theory that works.
The conspiracy theory is not new.
There is still widespread disbelief that the 1993 election was really lost, and an almost systematic resort to conspiracy theory to explain the party's current minority status.
Secondly, there is a very simple way of dealing with this issue because whatever happens - what happens in a situation like this, there is always a conspiracy theory.
Or is it perhaps that the conspiracy theory is right?
I am not one of those who subscribe to the conspiracy theory of history.
I am not aware of any conspiracy theory in these matters.
