Cameron/Thatcher

[micmak]

Are C / T clones of each other. I think Cameron is on the right road. ( As I thought Thatcher was) What do you think?

Hope you had a good kip, micmak.

To answer your supplementary question, DC may well have a Conservative label round his neck, but to suggest that he is a clone of Mrs T is a bit far-fetched. I have seen no Conservative policies of any significance eschew from the Coalition that Mr Cameron leads. Every policy he might adopt which may appeal to Conservative voters is thwarted by the LibDems. Mrs Thatcher, faced with the hung Parliament DC faced in 2010 would have had the courage to have gone it alone. The government would have been defeated by the summer and a new election called. In that election the LibDems would have been wiped out and almost certainly a Tory majority returned. Cameron should do likewise forthwith and stop hiding behind the “Coalition Agreement” to avoid carrying out Conservative policies. At present he has not earned his Tory spurs.

Broken every promise he made prior to election. I'm so disillusioned, ot sure what to vote next time. UKIP beckons but fear it may be a wasted vote and let Labour back in.

apparently they're sacking soldiers so the MoD can spend more on consultants - £600 million in two years

I'm confused, I can't tell the difference between Cameron or Clegg.

But I do know neither of them had the cojones Maggie Thatcher had, not by a long way!!!!!!!!!

I feel that Cameron has more human warmth than Mrs T, although like her, he enjoys an eight-figure bank balance that makes it impossible for him to comrehend the lives and feelings of most voters in this country.

I do hope he doesn't follow her line because in her latter years, Mrs T. patently refused to comprehend the notion of dissent in her government - opposition yes, but not another point of view, and that was ultimately her undoing.

i agree with NJ, Cameron should have the courage to ditch the alliance and see what he can do if his party stand alone - it has to be in improvement on the current situation where no-one really achieves anything.

Couldn't stand Thatcher, can't stand Cameron and hate him even more after pillaging some of the pensioners winter fuel allowance despite promising it was safe with him - HUH !!!
