Wishing 'Conservative-lite' Cameron Well at No 10

Though a 'real conservative' in exile (UKIP member) I still genuinely wish David Cameron and his team (especially the impressive William Hague) well.

Let's face it, after what Brown has done in turning is into more of a handout culture nation, the cast of Looney Tunes would be preferable.

Though I see David Cameron as 'Conservative-lite' it is easy to understand that his personal likeability could just make the new arrangement in British politics work, at least for a while. It is good to hear that the new coalition will restate the UK's commitment NOT to join the (doomed) Euro, to keep an independent nuclear deterrent and cut £6 billion from public spending (lunatically out of control currently) and cap non-EU immigration (although EU immigration needs capping too).

Though I do lament the ditching of policies to give tax credits to married couples (a sop to Lib Dim amoral values) and to up the inheritance tax threshold (pure theft by any standards).

Even so, for us all in these isles, it is a new political experience. Could be fun. One thing's for sure, we are no longer run by a man who beleives that a woman raising the issue of "uncapped immigration" and the loss of our border controls as a "bigoted woman". I doubt if even a conservative-lite Cameron could ever be that arrogant or out of touch with real life.

I really don't mean this in any demeaning way, but why is it that whenever I think of David Cameron...'Tweedie-Pie' comes to mind?

I hope you are correct Peter. I'm not so sure about this guy but when you consider the alternatives.....

What an amazing similarity to our so-called "conservative" government...which survives because of often working with the really left wing New Democratic Party in Canada.
