Half-way through the session the group had quietened and had become more involved. By the end they were clapping and clearly liking Cameron. What an amazing turn around.<br /><br />Just as there's a vast difference between a good, strong teacher and a teacher who can't hold the attention of the class, so with a politician.spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546761224397232295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-54807655400002092442010-03-16T14:12:36.606+00:002010-03-16T14:12:36.606+00:00GB: "I... errr...

He comes across as eloquent without being polished, unpatronising, at ease with his audience (without the need to lapse into the ghastly demotic estuary tones that Blair did) and, perhaps most importantly, in command of a wide range of issues. I learnt more about Tory policy from that video than I have from elsewhere. If Cameron can get out a-soapboxing throughout the campaign and meet as many people as he can this way, rather than through stage-managed hero parades, then he will sway the swing voters.Paddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790241838601339104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-27787378426414757172010-03-16T11:46:17.682+00:002010-03-16T11:46:17.682+00:00"That was actually impressive.
