Yesterday, Conservative Leader David Cameron unveiled the new Tory platform, "Built to Last." From the looks of the presser he put on yesterday, it seems clear that he is running to Blair's left on quite a few issues. The document includes links to such anomolous websites as www.socialjusticechallenge.com and www.globalpovertychallenge.com. Wow. According to the Guardian, it stresses the dangers of climate change and focuses on quality of life issues. "Corporate Responsibility" was another key aspect of the plan. A "huge increase" in drug rehabilitation places for young offenders was also on the table.
It gets better. During the presser, he came out in favor of a written Bill of Rights for Britain and against government ID schemes. His shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, described the technical aspects of Labour's ID card scheme as a joint FBI-Microsoft project.
Cameron was unhappy with the fact that recruiting drives to find women and minority candidates had fallen short of his goals.
Last week he criticized Israel, saying "he recognizes the right of Israel to defend itself against attack, but that measures taken to achieve that defense should always be proportionate."
Ralph Nader, watch out.
