I agree that the next administration (whatever its composition) is going to have some extraordinarily tough challenges, but I think your post is unfairly dismissive. <BR/><BR/>Re talent, I'm more concerned about the dearth of it in the Labour Party and the demonstrable negative impact that is having. Take Labour's Treasury Team - there is nobody with financial or business experience! Imho that amounts to wilful negligence.Praguetoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520923731691837948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-29031667231710239312007-12-19T08:04:00.000+00:002007-12-19T08:04:00.000+00:00Hello Praguetory, but party loyalties aside, you m...Hello Praguetory, but party loyalties aside, you might want to take a look at The Economist this week, where senior Conservatives are briefing that David cameron is concerned at the dearth of, particularly mid level, talent that he has to work with. While I agree that being collegiate would be a good thing, there is an obvious concern about any leader- that they retreat to the bunker when things get tough: this is what I think would happen to Cameron.Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090838836212624633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-14053479936583446062007-12-19T07:32:00.000+00:002007-12-19T07:32:00.000+00:00"The fact is that his inexperience will not allow ..."The fact is that his inexperience will not allow him to even understand the basic tools of administration for several years. By which time he will have already have made irreversible mistakes."<BR/><BR/>A gloomy diagnosis, but also nonsense on stilts. The first thing that Dave did on gaining leadership was to surround himself with the wisest and most experienced minds on the Conservative benches. From IDS Social Justice work to John Redwood's report on competitiveness through to Ken Clarke's work on democracy, it's the Conservatives who are building authority and devising ground-breaking policy ideas (in stark contrast to the Lib Dems I might add). In addition to his highly developed delegation skills (Michael Howard's weak point imho) Dave has shown an ability to learn from mistakes. If Cameron's rise had been seamless there would be a high risk of hubris - and there still is - but he has had a bumpy ride and learnt from it. <BR/><BR/>If things continue to play out as they are by the time the Conservatives come to power in 2010 we should have a tremendous goodwill from the public to make the radical changes needed. I'll certainly agree that we need to do far more than simply gain power to change things for the better.Praguetoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520923731691837948noreply@blogger.com
