As long as Cameron doesn't want the power to represent me, he won't get my vote. It's as simple as that.

Tory lead down to 5% in Ipsos/MORI survey
The Conservatives are on 37% and Labour on 32% in MORI's first poll for The Telegraph since YouGov left for News International. Labour might actually have more seats if these vote shares were replicated on polling day. In reality the Tories are likely to have more seats because the party is ex...
The global warming hypothesis depends on an observation that CO2 absorbs and emits heat radiation. This isn't disputed by anyone and in the absence of other factors is predicted to raise temperatures by about 1 degree Centigrade by 2100. In other words an amount politicians can ignore.
To get to the the figures of 2 - 6 degress centigrade by the end of the century put forward by the UN IPCC requires a positive feedback or amplification of the temperature by way of less low to mid level clouds and more water vapour, a greenhouse gas.
And it's the the reduced cloud prediction which even the most ardent of man made warmistas aknowledge is uncertain. Currently the scientists don't know if the cloud feedback is negative - clouds increase with temperature (negligible change in temperature), zero feedback (CO2 temperature change) or positive (hot!)
So don't believe scientists who say the physics is settled. By their own words it's not.

"By far the most expensive piece of legislation ever to go through Parliament."
Christopher Booker in The Sunday Telegraph pays tribute to Peter Lilley MP for uncovering the likely cost of the Climate Change Act: "One measure of the fantasy world now inhabited by our sad MPs was the mindless way that they nodded through, last October, by 463 votes to three, by far the mos...
I fear it's history repeating itself. Swap the Treaty of Versailles for the EU treaties with the attendent helplessness and you've got the reason for the rise of the BNP.

Paul Canal: The BNP must be confronted, not ignored
Tim Montgomerie recently noted discussions among Tory MPs about a change of tactics towards the BNP. Here, Paul Canal - deputy chairman of Leyton and Wanstead Conservatives, where a council by-election is taking place in the Wanstead ward next Thursday, 23rd April - moves the debate further forw...
Seriously the Conservative party need to take advice from engineers and scientists to prevent this rubbish coming out.
Have you ever thought it would actually be politically smart to be the only party to represent ordinary voters and not Zak Goldsmith, Prince Charles and assorted pressure groups.

George Osborne announces ten new green policy initiatives
Speaking at the Green Building Council this morning, the George Osborne has called on the Government to adopt ten “green” policies in next week’s budget which would make Britain's economy "greener and more productive". Mr Osborne says that none of the following would add to government debt and...
It's really simple, offer freedoms to the majority and they'll vote for you. Thatcher knew this. I thought Cameron was getting it and then up pops Gummer and co. from the Major era promising the opposite. So so stupid. I hope I'm wrong but right now I don't think Cameron has the political intelligence to turn it around.

Stephan Shakespeare: Cameron must offer bankable reasons for the uncool majority to vote Conservative (and quickly)
We could be within days of a general election being called, so this is a time to be constructive. How to be constructive when the polls are so gloomy for the Conservatives? Simple: all people are capable of changing their minds, so all elections are winnable. But that means Cameron’s people chan...
The stupid thing is energy consumption of non renewables will probably fall for technological and telecommuting reasons anyway. When the science of climate change is so unclear, why get involved in the CO2/Solar debate.

David Cameron wakes up to a second day of bad headlines
It's not often that British Airways and Virgin Atlantic agree on anything but they are united in opposing Tory plans to raise taxes on air travel. Yesterday's right-leaning Sunday newspapers were all deeply sceptical about the Tories' green tax plans and today has given the dailies their first...
