The Alternative...

Morning,

While I am working this morning, I have been listening to FiveLive in the DAB. They have been presenting a program in Birmingham, where the Conservatives are having their annual conference. The likes of Davis, Duncan-Smith and Ancram, have been on there trying to impress potential voters at any possible election in the coming 18 months or so.

The Tories have over the past 12 months, been taking advantage of Labour's difficulties with the economy and their internal struggle within the party. However, voters are still not convinced with David Cameron's newly branded Conservatives. I think Cameron's recently released book, edited by the editor of GQ hasn't helped matters, in fact it has made Cameron seem distant from the very voters that he needs to get into power.

Another problem that they have is the lack of policy initiatives that there has been. If voters are going to be convinced by them, then this is the time to be releasing them. If there are not many announcements this week, then Cameron is going to be having real problems in the long term in my opinion.

All in all, possibly a make or break week for them.
