of labour ineptness. This country is crying out for a strong tory government to bring back law and order, reduce taxes, and stop the scrounging, nanny state mentality this awful labour government has created
you know what I mean?

What does 'Dave' have to offer, other than than his awe inspiring (an eye catching initiative, if you will!) policy on the lines of "We're not Labour"?
Really? I'm not joking here. After Cameron was elected Tory leader, he set up a think tank to come up with Tory policies. This was supposed to take about 6 months.
It's all very well saying that policies take time; yes, they do and nobody wants more of the half-arsed back-of-the-envelope botch jobs that Blair & co. came up with, but unless the Tories can actually come up with some sound policies and values, supporting them is to admire the emperor's new clothes.
I cannot continue to support something that is not there.

Because he sounds more left-wing than Tony Blair he'd probably appeal to more Labour voters too, but I think you're Wotsits question was more insightful.
This country is certainly in desperate need of a competent government that doesn't repeatedly waste millions of pounds on ill-conceived, part-implemented, and ultimately abandoned schemes, but I'm not convinced that the Tory party, or anyone else, has done anything to suggest they're the ones who can provide it. Cameron is doing exactly what the Tories criticised Blair for doing - jettisoning traditional party policies to gain greater voter appeal and stealing ground from under his political opposition.
Oh, and why bother with Wotsits, when there are Wheat Crunchies?

Yes, I think he deserves a go. This Labour Government has had a fantastic opportunity to radically change some of our institutions that clearly don't work very well in a modern Britain. Why don't we have a separation of powers? Why is the House of Lords the highest court in the land? Why is our electoral system not representative of how people actually vote? Cameron may be a bit 'policy lite' at the moment but he talks sensibly and seems to 'get it'. Its irrelevant where he went to school or that he comes from a well-off background. So did JFK.

Nah, he seems a bit of a light weight. Conservatives are just as bad as labour, we will be taxed on everything whoever is in power.

UK is still standing. It's not Cameron [the Pict] who worries me, it's the men in grey suits behind him pulling the strings. Prepare ye for the new dawn, the return of the hag.
