Honest Dave

The underlying message of David Cameron's article on the BBC in today's Sun seems to be that he is the only thing between Auntie and a pack of rabidly anti-BBC Tories.

It's good to see a little honesty from Dave. Many of us have long suspected that he is the (only) moderate in the all-new moderate Conservative Party.

I don't doubt that Dave has changed, but by his own admission the rest of his party remains as extreme as they were in the days of Hague, IDS and Howard. You only have to listen to Osborne, Duncan and Fox (to name just a few) to realise they are far from reformed. Should the Tories win, Cameron will face a huge task keeping them in check.
