Well, it Worked for Major
It's hard not to feel sorry for David Cameron. I'm sure he is a nice bloke and does seem to be genuinely interested in dragging his party kicking and screaming out of the Victorian era. He does however, have one major problem - his members. To put it bluntly the membership of the Conservative party is old and bonkers.
We shall see this in the conference hall, whilst the party tries to drag anyone under 40 to the cameras and platform, as the camera pans over the delegates in the hall it will look like a cross between a neglected bingo hall and night of the living dead. These people are the core of the membership of a party that is literally dying.
These are the people who threw away any chance of electoral success for a decade when they chose Duncan Smith over those two political lightweights, Portillo and Clarke. The people who weren't trusted to choose a decent leader by the party hierachy and it wasn't until Davis agreed not to stand that Howard could stick the knife into Duncan Smith and take the crown, in the knowlege that the membership wouldn't be involved.
In the next election, Davis blew it so badly at conference that even the tranked up hoards spotted a loser and that nice boy won.
But how can Cameron make any progress in getting his party in any shape to be fit to govern? The right keep sticking the knife in, knowing the members are with them. Will Dave do a Hague and lurch to the right? Will he carry on and lead a party that has had it's manifesto plagiarised by Gordon?
Well, the signs aren't good for Dave and his somewhat ineffectual advisors: It's Back to Back to Basics!
Well, send in the clowns and let the sport begin.
Will Dave do a Hague and
Will Dave do a Hague and lurch to the right?
Contrary to popular belief politics is not purely linear, it is in reality a full circle. The next place to the right of Nu Labour is hard Communism, in both ideologies there are a small group of individuals who win, whilst all others loose. Brownie has taken all the extreme FASCIST ground as his own territory. I would suggest he tries to find the old donkey jacket that Michael Foot used as his trade mark, and have a bash at alternative politics to Nu Labour.
Afterall seeing Nu Labour singing the Red Flag yesterday was painful. Did anyone see Brownie singing by the way?
How does Comrade Cameron sound?
You have your
You have your authoritarians, we have ours. Recently, we New Yorkers saw Rudy! posing with the corpse of Margaret Thatcher. Rudy! is definitely not a nice bloke - on September 10th, he couldn't have won an election for dog catcher. He was busy giving the finger to the firefighters and running around the city trying to close down art exhibits he didn't like. A petty little man.
I suppose that David Cameron
I suppose that David Cameron never learnt about Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution, having been sent to a toff school like Eton, where a good religious education is thought to be correct.
As all politicians are nothing more than sewer rats in the eyes of all ordinary folk. Has Cameron not realised that in the evolutionary chain, he has become the victim to a super new breed of Brown rat, that can survive in more than a simple organic efluent environment. This super Brown rat thrives in almost any kind of chemical environment and is impervious to all known cleansing agents, no matter what is thrown at it, this rodent takes it all in its stride. There was no chance for Cameron, because this new breed of Brown rat is so voracious, and immediately muscled in on the staple food supply of poor little David, which was the rich pickings from the financial elite, who are only too prepared to encourage the super Brown rat, as it is proven to suit their requirements. The end of the little rat is nigh.

On a slightly different topic. Does anyone know who paid for Tony's new motor, that was delivered with a load of illegal immigrants?
That car story
That car story is hysterical - I wonder why they didn't run that story on BBC-America?
And Doubleplusungood? You know who's paying for it. You are. Just like we have to pay for Bush's health care and Secret Service protection for the rest of his life. Like Reagan, he'll probably dodder into his 90s.

"It's hard not to feel sorry for David Cameron"
No it`s not.
David Cameron is so far to the right he woudn`t be able to see the centre ground if were looking trough the Hubble telescope. Ask Ming Campbell (a right winger himself)...
"Noting that the Tory leader was now voicing reservations on British foreign policy, Sir Menzies angrily recalled that Mr Cameron voted for the war in Iraq and called on him to apologise."
"And while you are at it, Mr Cameron, you should apologise for the last Tory manifesto which you wrote — one of the most reactionary, unpleasant, Right-wing manifestos of modern times," he said."
