The evidence is?

That's the reason Labour supporters support Labour and Conservative supporters support the Conservatives. Cons believe Cameron will do this whereas Labourites don't. When he does, he'll win a lot more voters.

typical opposition leader speech close to elections promise the earth then free load when in power.

Actions not words - Given his approach to calls for an EU referendum how can Cameron be trusted to deliver. Its clear what people want!

Politicians of all colours will be speaking about anything and everything in an attempt to push the expences issue down the news agenda. Because news is often gathered from a limited pools of sources it is possible that they will achieve their aim. We as the electorate must keep bringing the argument back to the corruption that infests the open wound at the heart of the mother of all parliaments. Real Democracy died so long ago that it is hard to see even historic vestages of real political freedom.

Daniel Finkelstein's comment to-day has it about spot on. Sadly. David Cameron's speech about reforming Parliament was a suprb speech, almost revolutionary. Just wish I could believe it would happen, I mean, I really want to believe.

Cameron will slither his way out of it. It is like his (and Osbourn's) constant references to "we cannot say until we see the books..." which is nonsense. There are no secret "books", but it is a convenient phrase to mean "when we get in power we will do something different to that which we promised".

You know full well that there is no chance that Gordon Brown would ever allow any such release of power to the masses (his control freakery would never allow it), whatever he says.  There is at least a good chance that David Cameron means what he says

Unless you have lived through a Conservative government then you realise both the Tories and Labour promise the earth until they get in power.

Cameron has never been a minister (or run anything come to that) and even if he is sincere now (which, frankly, I doubt) he will change his mind once in office and wanting to decide things for himself. He gives no impression of a man wanting to give power to others - he leads the Conservatives from the front, it is always him, not his colleagues, on TV speaking for the Conservatives. His whole style is presidential not collegiate.

David Cameron will not be good to run this country the evidence shows in the tactics he has used against is opposition he will be the wrong candidate during these times he will only make things worse.

Regardinf D camerons comment on "all women" contstituencies, what a stupid idea!   Let women stand by all means but equally let the voters constiituency decide for themselves who and what sex the nominated candidate will be.  Do not tell the voters who to vote for, let them decide-male or female. We had enough of Blairs Babes during the last 12 years.,

I feel that this democracy is a failed experiment. The politicians we despise are but a reflection of ourselves. We would be better off with an amoral dictator with a strong sense of commitment to his vested interest and a firm sense of direction. I detest Mandelson but regard him as a man with the ability and coldness of heart to undemocratically lead us through troubled times Such a period of Government MIGHT encourage the electorate to grow up and put Civic Duty before civil rights.

I think David Cameron would follow through. It's about time we had some radical change. It's needed.
