A Genuine Tory Leader

I have always liked William Hague. I really like him after this. Reclaiming Thatcher's legacy was necessary beyond measure and Hague deserves all the credit in the world for having been brave enough to do so.
Would that his own leader been as principled. As it stands, Gordon Brown has little to fear from calling a snap election. After all, he would be going against David Cameron and not William Hague.

Cameron is absolutely terrible in every respect. From his pledge to match any spending of Labour, to his initiative to ban LCD screens for wasting energy, to his wacky plan to replace the GDP with a 'happiness index', to making Al Gore look rational on the environment. There is nothing conservative about him. His strategy is to out left the left and not only is it bad policy its bad politics as polls have shown.
He is head and shoulders above Cameron and Michael Howard. However, when he called Maggie "our greatest prime minister" I gagged. Of course she IS the "second greatest" :)
Also, the Tories can not win with less intelligent, less amiable, 2nd rate Blair copy leading the party. If Hague wants to take charge, then challenge mr softee. Under Cameron (and Brown) the dreader French have taken some of the "special relationship", Zut Alors!
Molon Labe!
