As a 'wannabe Conservative again' I feel that, until David Cameron gets his act together and shows that he has the leadership qualities we all want him to have i.e. a backbone, I am ambivalent about wanting to vote him into power. So far he has not seriously challenged the labour government on a) half the gold reserves having been sold off b) Northern Rock c) student loan interest rate doubling d) the rise in petrol tax e) sustainability. All of which would have tumbled governments on an individual basis - so why has he let this slide, or worse still, asked the question, received the answer and just rolled over. We know that Gordon Brown is going to call an election but what David Cameron appears to fail to understand is that the issues are indiscernible between the two parties and that it will be (the election) to all intents and purposes a leadership race and he will not win it if does not show that he is strong enough to run the country. That is the REAL issue.
