" ... Mr Cameron might even become the kind of Prime Minister who might actually stop some of that rot."

Dream on. Seriously! Dream on.

Basically: which government activities should be closed down, now.

David Cameron *isn't going to do that*. He has no interest in closing anything down. He's going to expand the government, or diffuse it further might be a more accurate term- he's already made it clear the "Third Sector" are going to be given a much bigger trough to snout in.

There aren't going to be any liberal/libertarian/small government reforms. He's going to shuffle things around while using a few buzzwords to soothe us, like "choice" and "putting experts in charge" and "letting doctors make the decisions" and "letting teachers get on with teaching" and leviathan is going to expand some more.

I don't know why people are having trouble grasping this. He's said it all plainly enough.

Ian B, how do you think he is going to pay for it ?

By hanging from a lampost perhaps?... though I'd prefer things not to come to that.

Perhaps someone would explain this to me:

Why are the writers of Samizdata so keen on Brown resigning? What is the point? I mean. It's not like Cameron is going to be better.
