Does Cameron face a blue rinse rebellion?
at 10:09am on Thursday, 9th February 2006
Writing in The Guardian today, Vince Cable suggests that Cameron could well be genuine in his stated desire to embrace liberal values and make social justice a core concern of the Conservative Party (or, in the words of Norman Tebbit, build "a new modern compassionate green globally aware party somewhere on the left side of the middle").
Building on his recent Demos pamphlet on identity politics, Cable suggests that, whether Cameron believes his own rhetoric or not, his pronouncements are causing disquiet amongst Tory activists in the shires. The real upheaval for the Conservative Party may have only just begun.
