AFTER a disastrous three months, the worst is finally over for David Cameron and his Conservative Party. They have begun what promises to be a long and difficult fight back; for the first time in over 15 years, the party members, MPs and officials assembled in Blackpool this week for their Party conference looked as if they might soon be ready for government once again.
Not all of their policies are right and many remain half-baked; but they also unveiled a series of radical proposals that would begin to provide a cure for some of the country’s gravest ills. By far the most important were their ideas for education reform, which could finally inject much-needed choice and competition into Britain’s underperforming schools; there are also signs the Party is beginning to look kindly upon the sort of welfare reform Bill Clinton so successfully introduced during his time in the White House.
