Why Daniel Hannan is a Conservative

David Cameron
Having read David Cameron's speech about Rebuilding trust in politics, I now have something of an insight into what Daniel Hannan means when he says that piece by piece, The Plan is becoming Conservative policy, often almost word for word. Does Cameron's speech go as far as Carswell and Hannan in radically shifting power downwards and outwards? Not quite, although it's still a seismic shift in our political structures if the commitments become reality, and far more radical than either of the other two parties can ever hope to be. Gordon Brown's cynical move to curry favour with his VERY belated attempts at electoral reform (which frankly have some serious problems) are exposed for what they are, an attempt to save his own skin whatever the actual merit of his suggestions. What I have to wonder is, will the Lib Dems dare comment on this speech? Are they willing to propose something this radical and do they dare let the words "we fully support this plan" pass their lips?

Looks like it's going to be an interesting election...
