Tory lead diminishes

Although this may seem negative, it is interesting to note that if Gordon Brown was PM, David Cameron would have a bigger lead than previous polls. Read about the poll here.

Although at heart I have always been a Tory, David Cameron brought me back as a member of the party. I back him and I fully expect him to be the next prime minister. Although Gordon Brown will try and set himself apart from Blair, he cannot get away from the fact he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer during the Blair years. Cameron offers something different. He offers a fresh approach and when middle England comes to make a decision, they will back him.
There are many constituencies – like Brigg and Goole which has a small Labour majority – that can easily become Tory and do not underestimate the British electorate. People in those constituencies will know how important they are and will vote the Conservatives back in again. This is not going to happen without any work – far from it. It will mean all activists will have to get out and deliver leaflets, knock on doors and canvess on the streets. We have to show the electorate that the Conservative Party is back in business. If we do, we will be back in government.

  1. I agree, Andrew. I hope we effectively drive home the message that Gordon Brown, as Chancellor during the Blair years, cannot distance himself from any dodgy economic decisions taken then. Brown is an open goal, that much is apparent.
