But I'm also sure that the Cameron generic detail-lite niceness works to attract a good number of people who are genuninely unideological.Tom Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997295899017354602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29618513.post-31036623056816736742008-06-30T22:53:00.000+01:002008-06-30T22:53:00.000+01:00Anon - I've already proven my ability to be popula...Anon - I've already proven my ability to be popular when I was voted Best New Conservative blog in 2007.

No one else does, he just trawls through Labour blogs because no one is interested in his own lame blog . The 'uncommited' are NOT voting Tory because we have not had a general election yet.
