I think you've hit the main point there Garinda about the next general election.

Conservatives and Labour are very similar in many ways, they spout the same platitudes and have similar policies. Yes, there are differences if you're interested enough to look at things in detail but the majority of the voting electorate don't look at it that closely. All most people will see is a tired and old Labour party, tainted with the war argument, and a fresh and young Conservative party, who, even though they also voted for the war, seem to be escaping that brick.

David Cameron seems to me to be an identikit of Tony Blair when he came to power. I'm not saying that the only reason they picked him was because he was young, charming and was relatively easy on the eye, but they must have considered all the factors that got Blair into power.
