Cameron said that he wanted the Tories to be "a voice for change, optimism and hope". He said that his vision was for "responsible government and responsible business helping to build a responsible 21st century nation – where social reform and decentralisation strengthen our society, where a stronger society reduces demands on the taxpayer, and where lower taxes, a less interfering, bureaucratic state and green growth combine to produce a sustainable economy."
He also identified three priorities for his party in 2009: showing that it had learnt the lessons from the debt crisis, offering positive ideas to tackle the recession, and setting out a positive vision for change.
This is the same batch of bad ideas that Americans loved to hear from Bush. Morality, positive thoughts, responsibility ('ownership society'), small government, less regulation. Interesting idea that government borrowing caused the financial meltdown. Wrong, but interesting.
I suspect our British cousins might fall for the same bad policies we Americans embraced with enthusiasm for the last 8 years.
