Cameron And The Long Run

Pummelled recently Cameron has hit back by saying that he is in it for the long run, not just for short term gain. Well, a major problem in politics since Blair took power is that the short term aims of a political party have become the only aim of all politics. The country can go to hell in a hand cart if it conflicts with getting re-elected.

The problem with what Cameron is saying in his own defence is that we have absolutely no evidence to support it. Certainly there is a welter of evidence that he is only interested in himself, to the extent that he agrees to stupid ideas from the Lib Dems, because it keeps his power train rolling along.

Nope, he is as short termist as Blair. He would love to install one long term system though (and this he shares, again, with Blair) and that is that his party stays in power for ever.
