Paxboy (or is that Paxman?)
I am sure there is more to it than this.
Political initiatives come in waves and bandwagons. The Labour bandwagons were Diversity and Climate, and everyone jumped on. The Conservative bandwagons are rapidly becoming: rebalancing the economy (more industry), and infrastructure.
There is no doubt that the S.E. needs more aviation capacity, but the question is will Cameron be bold, or simply fudge like all previous governments. Cameron will be looking for a legacy project - if he thinks Silver-Boris is uncertain as a success story, he will drop it - but if he thinks it will be a success he will do everything he can to make it happen. Just think - JFK airport DWDC airport - it has a nice ring to it.....
We wait and see what he decides.
