If Cameron campaigned for anything other than simply to get elected, if he espoused rhetoric more sophisticated than outmoded one-nationism, and if he demonstrated himself to have a cogent vision for Britain, then he might merit the praise you give him. As it is, he&#39;s done little to outgrow the demagoguic nature he displayed in 2005.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-57126143163963204392009-12-19T20:12:52.318Z2009-12-19T20:12:52.318Z&quot; Look at Obama - he stood and won on a policy of refusing to raise taxes during a recession&quot; Obama won on a platform of not being Bush and not being Hilary. He went into the Presidency all sizzle and has proved to have no sausages on the Barbie. That&#39;s why he has broken the record in incumbent unpopularity in the first year stakes. I do hope that DC has got sausages ready for cooking - he&#39;s keeping them well hidden at the moment. the release of our manifesto in the New Year will be critical. for the electorate, it&#39;ll be the first time they will have an inkling of what DC stands for.Grumpy Old Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-11391512557852144892009-12-19T20:09:01.834Z2009-12-19T20:09:01.834ZMy, we are waxing lyrical. Its soundbite city in here:<br /><br /><br /><i>Cameron has a golden opportunity to change this country forever, to undo the poison Labour have dripped into every walk of life in the last twelve years. He has the chance to reform from Whitehall to town hall and must, must, make it clear to the public in the new year that he is the man to bite the bullet. We need to see him breaking away from what is popular with focus groups stuffed full of people that probably wouldn&#39;t vote Conservative anyway, and making clear the message that decisions will be made for the country, rather than the public sector workers, even if it hurts.</i><br /><br />What on earth does any of this even mean?
