It's a fair effort, as when you mention 'Tory' to most people in the UK over a certain age, they may think of ex. Oxbridge dears supping their sherry in Gentlemens clubs - of course, that particular attitude slipped during from the early eighties onwards, but could be they still cannot be trusted by Joe Public under the age of, say, 30.
But after the nine years of Labours' power, perhaps the young are too shy to put their trust an any side of the politician fence.
Mr. Cameron is young enough to talk the talk (as long as he tells none of the young 'uns he's trying to get that he likes the - er - Arctic Monkeys), and so in such a position he should talk to the young not only in Eton and Chelsea, but perhaps north of Cheshire. The young can sift out the good from the dross even more so now on account of the easy way to get media, so he aught to understand that and act accordingly, and being the age he is, the rest of his Conservative colleagues, no matter what era they sharpened their skills should support him.

Total cr*p - I cannot believe this story was actually the Guardian's front page item on Saturday! Who 'got at' them from Tory Central Office?!
I like how he says the blog is reaching out to people 'disaffected and disillusioned from mainstream politics.' Er, Dave; you're leader of the most mainstream political party in British history!
About as credible as turning up at the Notting Hill carnival in a baseball cap.

It's a bit "dad dancing at a wedding" - it's always embarrassing when someone essentially uncool tries to plug into the zeitgeist.
Anyway, if anyone genuinely believes that this will truly be an unscripted, behind-the-scenes peek at Conservative policy-making and Cameron's saintly home life - I have this very nice Mona Lisa here, completely genuine, want to buy it?

Yeah, it's a good idea in theory but how many kids do reckon will be interested enough to visit?
In theory it could possibly get more kids interested in politics and their surroundings but I won't hold my breath!

Getting young people involved in politics is a great idea. Fresh blood!
I'm for the BNP, though.
