Cameron writes for Telegraph
During the leadership campaign I made clear that we had to change to win and that, on a wide range of issues - tax cuts, grammar schools, subsidising private healthcare, women candidates, the environment, tackling poverty at home and abroad - I would lead this party in a new direction.
That's exactly what we've been doing these past few weeks. I don't think we have time to hang around: it took the Labour Party 14 years to come to terms with Conservative electoral success and make itself electable again. We have three - four at most.
This is the most interesting part, but make sure to read the whole thing.
David Cameron says this, but that seems to contradict a report on an internet survey, again in Telegraph, that three quarters of conservative party members oppose DC on his recent U turn on grammar schools, and oppose him in his support of "positive discrimination" for women in safe seats.
So is it then true that members elected someone to carry out policy decisions they disagree with? If so, why?
Hmmmmmm......
