Any thoughts on David Cameron (that's the leader of the Conservative Party in Britain)? Is he a breath of fresh air and potential force for change, or is he more Blair than Blair?
(It will be interesting, judging by the response, to see how many people really care!)

AS THERE NO-ONE OUT THERE WHO LIKES THIS GUY?!?
I'll leave the question open over the weekend, but I think I can see which way it's going!

He is very similar to Tony Blair I think - he tells people what they want to hear
The Labour and Conservative parties are very much the same too.

he's just saying a lot of the right things at the minute to the public in britain, but essentially, he is more blair than blair. i doubt the foreign policy would be different under a tory government, and the home policy would certainly get much worse for poor people and immigrants and better for the rich. which in my opinion is a bad thing.

As an Englishman I think that the sooner the party for England, very few Scots vote Conservative, was lead by an English man or woman. At present we have Scots running down England and pricing our children out of an education while the Scots and Welsh have it all for free.

I think he'll definitely give Blair a contest at the next general election, which is more than any other Tory leader has done since 1997.
Traditional Labour voters have just become disillusioned with the party and seem to have gone from 'red' to 'orange' or 'purple'!

He's far too Blairish for my liking. I reckon he'll do well, like Blair did, but he'll have the same shortcomings.
He'll be a slave to PCness and social engineer like Blair; he won't be tough on crime, he'll be advocating leniency for criminals, etc. What we need is a strong leader who is properly conservative, and who won't be afraid to do things right, even if he has to put something on the line.

A lightweight. With luck his foolish attempts to modernise the Tory party (have you seen some of the daft old s*ds who go to the conference) will so anger the party that it splits down the middle. Hooray!

I don't really care, we have a two party system where both parties are the same.
Yawn.
Proportional representation I say

He's a clown in a suit. He should get one of those little clown bikes to ride to work instead of the one hes got.
