David "the man" Cameron termed Labour's policymaking strategy "government by management consultant and policy by PowerPoint". He strikes a painfully sensitive nerve there, as the current British government has grown so big it is tragically out of touch with the ordinary citizen. No wonder they get a drubbing in the local polls.
Although some of the policy proposals the British Conservatives outline may seem a little too interventionist or unfeasible (microgeneration isn't cheap to install), their approach puts citizens first and government last. Independent schools, locally accountable police forces, microgeneration and incentives for small business are set to erode the power of central bodies.
As I have maintained previously, the Tories have realized that the British system is too socialist-ized to be dealt one deadly blow that would allow its sitizens to breathe freely. A slow erosion of the mammoth nanny state erected by Labour would be, however, set in motion. Hopefully, given a little freedom to run their lives, greater numbers will demand even more.
