Credit where credit's due: it was a top notch speech, Mr. Cameron

Having declared our support for UKIP for the next General Election this morning, there is a risk of appearing somewhat schizophrenic in what we're about to say.

However, partisanship and opinion should never mean one is unable to accept and recognise truths or to conceal compliments that would otherwise be forthcoming.

So, we would like to give a very positive appraisal of David Cameron's Conservative Party Conference Speech. It was passionate, he came over very positively as an individual that you would feel comfortable with as a leader and his outlined vision for Britain sounded like a positive one.

This blog has two major issues that dictate our political allegiance - civil liberties and the European Union.

On civil liberties, Cameron used a section of his speech on Britishness to condemn ZaNuLiebour's control freakery and pledged to the British people that a new Conservative Government will sweep all that away. It was a moment that was applauded warmly in Clock Towers.

Surprisingly, he also said a great deal about the poorest in society and means to tackle poverty that ZaNuLiebour have exasperated rather than healed. His stinging rebuke to ZaNuLiebour earned a round of applause here - and a standing ovation in the conference hall.

He vowed to recognise marriage and civil partnerships in the tax system - bravo.

And he even talked about the political issue that dare not speak it's name - the European Union. Here, he made surprising - but demanded - concessionary overtones to those in his own party uncomfortable with Britain's relationship with the EU. And in many ways, if one closed one's eyes, one could have imagined that it was Nigel Farage speaking. Cameron is obviously well versed in some of the arguments on the UKIP website.

However, while demanding EU accountability, we did not hear anything about British national sovereignty.

Make no mistake. David Cameron is this nation's next Prime Minister. That was an election winning speech.

While this blog will be supporting UKIP, we would not feel totally uncomfortable with the Conservatives as a second best choice.

If Cameron can expand upon our role in (or preferably out) of the the European Union, we could still change our mind and cast a vote for the Conservatives if a UKIP candidate does not stand in our constituency.

In the meantime, we wish David Cameron well.
