Taking a Page from the Opposing Playbook
The Conservative Party in Great Britain has elected a new leader, David Cameron. Cameron, 39, promises to change the tone of the party. The Chicago Tribune said, "he is proposing a makeover no less sweeping than that which occurred in the mid-1990s when Blair reinvented the Labor Party."
Cameron used the following line in his acceptance speech, promising: "a modern, compassionate conservatism that is right for our times and right for our country." Sound familiar?
This line shows an effort to change the Conservative Party's image as for "grumpy old men." Cameron said, "We need to change the way we look. Nine out of 10 Conservative [members of Parliament], like me, are white men. We need to change the scandalous underrepresentation of women in the Conservative Party." His first chance to see if this new tone will bring the Tories out of the 30% range in elections will be 2009.
