Actually, this David Cameron chap looks reasonably good from where I'm standing. Not consistently libertarian but definitely has flair.

If only he could admit he smoked dope at some point while at uni, that unlike Tony Blair he is prepared to admit to having done it, that many have tried it - but he's grown up and moved beyond it.
The sad thing is while that would make him far more electable, the rank and file Tories would stick their noses in the air and turn their backs on him... much like the National Party would in similar circumstances.
