FB11,
''However, I actually think Cameron might just be savvy enough to do that.''
sorry, i don't have your confidence in Cameron - i voted for him, i'm a 'natural' tory supporter, but i'm afraid that apart from the formation of the coalition, i've seen very little that suggests he's got a strategic thought in his head: he's a lightweight,
PR lead, fairly incompetant opposition politician who by act of god has found himself as PM - at the end of this parliament, and probably long before, most tories will look on the PM's-ship's of Gordon Brown - or even Ted Heath - as ones of firm grip, steady mind and steel focus.
he is, i'm sad to say, going to go down as one of the worst PM's we've ever had - he doesn't do thought, and he doesn't do decision making.
it'll be reinstatement of 'B' and cancellation of C&T, followed by eventual cancellation of 'B', mothballing/sale of CVF, massives losses on both programes, and cancellation of Type 26 to pay for them.
