Those doomsayers who reckon David Cameron is a shoe in at the next general election can breathe a sigh of relief. He might win, but he won’t achieve anything in office. From the 50p tax rate to Europe and private schools, he will be too timid to vent his party’s worst policies on the nation. Just ask the Tory right’s cheerleader, the Daily Telegraph’s Simon Heffer, who writes with regret that a Cameron victory will not deliver a Conservative government but one borne of a party “crippled by the pursuit of consensus, slavish to tokenism and heading for what might most politely be called
the mother of all muddles should it achieve power”. Déjà vu anyone?
