Cameron - snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

The Conservatives must sit around their conference tables wondering how is it possible? How has the huge electoral advantage that should rightfully be theirs disappeared? It's no secret and it does show up the youthful inexperience of Cameron and his clique. You see, there is no Conservative vision, only point solutions that don't seem to string together. Nobody really knows what Cameron stands for and the voting public are trying to tell him in the only way they know how; in the polls. The Tory slogan, 'a vote for change' is not nearly good enough. Britain is already experiencing change under Labour; change from a prosperous, first world state with strong social values; to a ruined, ragged appendage of the EU, where prosperity, society and democracy are in terminal collapse - that's change, but who wants it? Cameron needs to claim that Britain and the British people will be better off at the end of the Conservative first term and explain how it will be done. Being different is not what people want. There is a traditional expression that is very valid in these circumstances; 'better the devil you know'.
