Since David Cameron’s modernising arrival on the Conservative scene he has been viewed by many on the right of the party as a cuckoo in the nest.

I do believe they are now about to see just how many more of their cherished old ideas the new Prime Minister is prepared to kick out now his Government is reliant on the Lib Dems in coalition.

While I am disappointed this election did not result in a realignment of the centre-left majority of this land, these are interesting times for Tories and the rest of us alike.

Very interesting times, indeed, that could change the face of British politics for the better forever.

This old leftie with attitude wishes him and Nick Clegg well in their joint endeavour.
