I can remember listening to the blessed Margaret, in her prime, when she had the Conference hanging on her every word and gesture. She delivered big, bold, no-nonsense ideas and objectives and the party and the country backed her to the hilt; even though one half suspects that it was because they were too intimidated by her to do anything else.
Cameron, it strikes me, would like to be seen as the Tory equivalent of Blair, but without the maniacal ego; it won't work, he will just end up becoming a sort of vaguely right - ish Charles Kennedey.

agree with AB wasn't a bad speech, what it omitted was how the hell he was going to pay for it. lol according to economists anyway. as for brown pinching the policies cyfr if he did he watered em down a bit and SAID how he was going to pay for em.
