Cameron defiant over reform of Conservatives

David Cameron is preparing to make a speech today saying that the Conservative party must move forward and that it is not enough for the leader to change, but the party has to change with him.

Is he on smack?

This cosmetic move towards the centre ground is fine when it's Cameron making a play for middle England voters in various TV interviews, but he doesn't seriously think the Tories agree with him, does he?

When is he going to accept that he leads an ageing, homophobic, anti-EU, bunch of Xenophobes; and that there is more chance of Blair admitting Iraq was a huge tactical blunder than there is of the crustaceans he leads ever embracing the 21st century?

The Tories don't want change, they want a return to 1950's values. And Cameron should realise that, if the Tories were serious about embracing the twenty first century and modernity, if they really wanted to build a party that was inclusive, then they wouldn't have elected an old Etonian like him in the first place.
