Tories sign up Geldof

The Australian: Tories sign up Geldof :

"Geldof, who led calls for the Group of Eight richest nations to act on debt, trade and poverty during July's Gleneagles summit, will work as an adviser to Tory leader David Cameron's new Globalisation and Global Poverty policy group."

David Cameron is no fool and will give Tony Blair's 22% of the vote a run for its money. Mr. Cameron is starting to home in on the issues which mean something to the real people of the world and although they have been called "the wristband generation" in this article because they bought the white wristbands to support the Make Poverty History campaign, they cannot be labelled and used. People who buy the wrist bands have a heart and a brain. David Cameron is looking to revamp the Conservative Party so getting influencial people like Bob Geldorf onside will help considerably, but it wouldn't want to turn out to be a ticket to success. He will need to put his money where his revamping is. Tony Blair got to power because he appeared to be the person who was able to fix some of the long term issues for Britain. Then the wheels fell off because he didn't follow through on his capacity to problem solve.
