- Blinker1315, on 07/11/2009, -2/+14Cameron's too "green" for my taste, but I suppose that's mandatory to get elected anywhere in the Western world. Bottom line: he'll be a far more capable leader than the bumbling Gordon Brown.
- 3rdDay, on 07/11/2009, -0/+10Cameron is a arch Thatcherite to the very core, and always has been. I accept that the Conservatives will get in at the next election, and they'll use the financial crisis as a pretext for the policies of deep cuts in taxes and services that form the bedrock of their economic beliefs, regardless of the costs to the less well off and the country at large.
- elijahyossie, on 07/11/2009, -1/+11He's already changed it a lot, I reckon.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -0/+7No.
But he can win an election vs a labour party whose biggest threat is themselves.
Labour are a disgrace to the name, the lib dems are the only ones that deserve it but they can't do well with out proportional representation. - inactive, on 07/12/2009, -0/+7Doesn't matter, Labour are so ***** now they can't win. I just wish I saw more talk on civil liberties over here. Vote Lib Dem.
- Beveridge89, on 07/11/2009, -0/+7It doesn't take much to see that Cameron is doing exactly what Blair did fifteen years ago. He's moved the party towards the centre that voters theoretically love, and whereas Blair changed the party name and surrounded himself with celebrities to dismiss any claims he was a socialist, Cameron changed the party logo and became an environmentalist to convince us he's a caring, sharing man of the people rather than an old Etonian toff. And since he's coming up against the same type of opponent as Blair- a competent, if scandal hit, but older and duller PM- the result will be the same.
Edit: Though in fairness to him, much as he is a fraud, he's showing the same pragmatic approach to government that most of the good Tories have. - Russelllucid, on 07/11/2009, -3/+8NO! Leave the conservatives to rot please. A good conservative hopes that free markets will eventually raise the standard of living of everyone (which is well proven) but anyone slipping through the cracks are statistics to these people. Cameron is a caring conservative if you define caring as taking care of the middle class and big business.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -0/+5I like his ties.
- netneutrality, on 07/12/2009, -0/+4Can he lose? Labour doesn't have much to offer at the moment, and while gloomy Brown is brooding over a party drenched in years of scandal, Cameron is liked and charismatic, and he's young enough that he's been able to distance the party from what it did in the 90s.
- GammaStream, on 07/12/2009, -0/+3What policies will the Tories actually introduce? So far we the electorate are being asked to vote for them on their sole pledge to decrease tax on inheritance. The New York Times should be asking what will David Cameron actually introduce as policies rather than writing 7 pages of history. As an electorate we should demand to know more about what policies our Government will introduce. (This applies to Labour as well and is not a politically motivated attack).
- UKsHaDoW, on 07/12/2009, -0/+3Hopefully he will be conservative financially, but without forcing 'morals' on people like section 28. He says conservatives have put stuff like that behind them, but i still think a lot still hold old views.
- inactive, on 07/12/2009, -0/+3like blair isnt a Thatcherite.
they are all her children. - netneutrality, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2He's changed its *image*.
- Aaron_Einstein, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2exception that proves the rule: Stephen Harper.
I love that guy haha. - elijahyossie, on 07/13/2009, -0/+1More than that, I think.
- burnerz, on 07/13/2009, -0/+1I hope he gets in, under labour uni fees could go up to around £20k a year even though we go through uni to benefit the country! DON'T VOTE LABOUR!
- Frostek, on 07/12/2009, -3/+3He can redefine the Tory party for as long as he likes, just as long as he doesn't get to be PM...
