Cameron launches Conservative European election campaign
His speech was short. After lambasting waste and urging transparency on financial arrangements, he spelt out one or two things that win support from The Talking Clock:
1. A referendum on the Lisbon Treaty
2. To change the law so that powers can no longer be given away without the British people's say so
3. Oppose EU meetings in Strasbourg, citing waste of money
Apart from those things, it really was policy-lite. As a consequence, UKIP will definitely now be getting the vote of The Talking Clock - it is no longer a question. Nice try, Dave.
However, Cameron used the same campaign launch to call for the current expenses scandal to be resolved by the dissolving of Parliament. On this, he sounded authoritative and like a leader. He even outlined how Conservative members can reselect local Parliamentary candidates. Verdict of The Talking Clock? Thumbs up.
The Talking Clock is starting to like Cameron an ickle bit. But there is no support for the N-EU World Order. The Talking Clock will continue to be like the Grange Hill Cast and 'Just Say No' to that...
