I think the guy is really just a face for the Conservative Party and I don't buy all his modernizing, 'compassionate' and green ideas. I think he exists solely to make the Conservatives popular so they can drag us into the dark ages again. What do you think?

Yeah, right, we are already in the dark ages with Blair and his Working-Class Conservative Party, but the Conservatives would drag us into darker times, just like before.

No. Cameron is a weak and smarmy politician. Conservatives are finished in this country as Labour are too well integrated into the middle class vote and moving into the right wing now.

Well he is the best one they have had for a while. A young face to match Blair. He should win too, Blair is looking too tired and keeping a fat Deputy is not working anymore. We are in the dark ages now. Work houses only around the corner if we keep a right winged labour party in any longer. Bring Ken back to the Commons

In my opinion, David Cameron is representative of a new generation of politicians who have had their spines surgically removed to be replaced by a focus group. What was it that Sting put in the lyrics of one his songs? "Politicians, they all look like game show hosts to me". At the time, it was a reference to Kilroy Silk, and a prelude to the slurry critique that was to follow. (There's never a slurry truck around parliament square when you need one. Have you ever noticed that?) However, Sting sums up David Cameron also. I suspect David Cameron would be more believable as presenter of The Mint or Quizmania than as a credible politician.The tragedy is that he missed his calling in life.
The true face of compassion Conservatism was Michael Portillo. However, the party would not support his bid for the leadership and so he was consigned to late night BBC1 talk shows (and probably a much higher tax bracket).
When Michael Portillo agreed to take part in the TV program in which he spent a week in the life of a single mother, he demonstrated a political shift the like of which the Tory party had never seen before. Here was a member of the political party that had brought 3.5 million people unemployment admitting on prime time TV that life on benefits is tough. That's a 'mea culpa' of Richard Nixon standards. The experience appeared to also bring about a genuine epiphany in the guy, and his language, his attitude and his subsequent political statements all demonstrated a shift towards a more compassionate, less hard-lined set of Conservative values. No wonder he wasn't elected party leader!
Ironically, had he been, he would have posed a more serious challenger to Tony Blair's third time in office because the general electorate tolerated Michael Portillo far more than Michael Heseltine. Portillo is simply a more believable politician. Another irony is that Portillo laid the ground for David Cameron to follow.
Instead of the really rather credible Michael Portillo as party leader of a 'compassionate' Conservative party, we now have David Cameron, who in my opinion is frankly little more than a product being manipulated by brand managers attempting to sell him to an unsuspecting electorate.

Omg, 2 of the THICKEST Americas ever!! Lmao Cameron is a miles off relative to the queen for Tom. As fr Thor, erm you mean Tony Blair no longer Cameron. As Obama became into resident whilst Cameron have been given to capability. the justifications we the British dislike him is for his assaults on the welfare state; militia; pensioners; disabled, and the checklist is going on. he's likewise incompetent and lazy.

I am not entirely convinced about Cameron. Blair to me is a yes man and is far to concerned with Image. Cameron may prove to be the same. We need someone like Thatcher who stood up for the UK. forget about her policies for a minute. She is a strong character. Thats what we need. I would be happy with a party who was tough on crime and tough on immigration first and then hospitals, eductation infrastructure second.

Cameron needs a few more acting lesson's if he wants to keep up with Yo' Blair .. he could do with a tan and stop the stupid bike to work routine..I think Mrs Pointy Shoes Theresa Mae ( no not Teresa May ) should be Tory Leader.

David Cameron is Blair Mark 2. If you are fed up of Blair you would not like DC. Take my word for it.

He has a game plan, and if ever possible he got in, the rest of the party would jump on his polices, as they would not suit the party line. he preaches the( right ) -words but the old boys school will shut him down
