Why the PH hatred of Call Me Dave?
Discussion
In all seriousness, what is it so many PH'ers seem to dislike so much about Cameron? Particularly as he still has the support of the vast majority of the Tory party. It's not like he's suddenly become a one-nation Tory overnight - he has always been one.
In fact so much dislike that it appears (on the surface at least) that some people would prefer Labour to win in order to teach him a lesson.
In my opinion he's done a decent job in the last 5 years against some pretty terrible circumstances (a coalition with a left-of-centre party and an enormous structural and cyclical deficit left behind by Labour). The economy is on the mend without excessive credit stimulus and he's even improved the social fabric with things like gay marriage.

Don't trust him as far as I could throw him, once bitten twice shy unfortunately, he is a Europhile common purpose stooge masquerading as the Conservative party leader.
Why has he not once agreed to an interview with Andrew Neil since becoming PM his one and only interview with him was back in 2007 under strict conditions.

His performance in the last leader debates was woeful so is there really any wonder he doesn't want to do them again this time.
He buckles under pressure, often showing is immaturity, and these are not good qualities for a PM.
The wet nonse can't even choose his own clothes Sam does it for him.

Well I never met anyone who went to Eton who I didn't think was an overbearing t
t, perhaps I am not alone? That said I like Cameron and don't really get why he is so unpopular either, seems like a decent guy who has had to make many compromises to keep the LibDem muppets under control. His failure to secure boundary reform probably means more Labour Governments to come which is reason enough for many to dislike him I suppose!

You may be right in most of what you say but, unquestionably in my opinion, he's the best we've got.........Why has he not once agreed to an interview with Andrew Neil since becoming PM his one and only interview with him was back in 2007 under strict conditions.

Probably because he reminds everyone of New Labour and Blair - after 13 years of Labour people wanted a real change and there is a perception that CMD hasn't delivered that. Also in part I think it's because no one likes a loser. I mean this is a man who could not even win an election against one of the most unpopular and inept British PM we've ever seen. And now it looks like he won't win an election against one of the most incompetent and wooden leader of the opposition we've ever seen.
However I agree with those who say he's the best of a bad bunch.

I just read a post by a CMD lover on another thread - jimboka (I think).
I dont hate him.
Cant trust him, as
a. he is a politician.
b he is in a coalition
c.He owes all the big donors so must pay them back.
d. He hasn't stuffed the Civil Service and myriad quangos with supporters, nor dumped all the Common Purpose drones that fill so many important posts.
He really doesn't have a chance.

He supports the Climate Change Act, the most expensive bit of legislation ever passed by parliament. In a few years, electricity will cost 30% more than it needed to. This will bugger up Britain's manufacturing industry for another 25 years.
He is borrowing an extra £8Bn a year to give away to countries who have space programmes. My children will have to repay this money, and we will have nothing to show for it.
He promised us a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
He acts like an untrustworthy socialist. How on Earth did he become the leader of the Conservative party? He should have been in Labour.

for me it's pretty simple, the man is spineless.
he does not even command the support and respect of his own party, let alone anyone else.
he buckles at any sign of a hard fight, £1.7Bn to the EU for example), infact, EU wise he's achieved nothing, nada, zilch - Merkle just creamed him.
Asides that, he has abused and st on the military, pandered to the gays, pushed more money out the country in so-called aid, done nothing about immigration, law&order, transport, government reform, etc etc.
if you think about it, what legacy will CMD be remembered for in his term as PM?

Not for the first time do I appear to be out of step with the rest of the PH flock.
I like Cameron. Like him quite a lot. There again I believe Miliband is the least likeable Labour Party leader in my lifetime.
Yes, I like Cameron. However, not as much as I admire Nigel ... Nigel who?
By the way, irrespective of where you place that big crayon X come May 7, no Government can get this Nation back on a path to better things. Only the people can really do that. If they have it in them.

I'm unlikely to vote for him, as he's a Conservative and I'm not. Despite that, I like the guy. He means well, took on his party on gay marriage, and has made the best fist of a stty economy and having to deal with a coalition. He's a bit shouty at PMQs but that goes with the territory.
As for the Eton/Oxford background; why should I care?He's a bright guy who could earn a fortune elsewhere and in any case seems to have sufficient private means to never need to work. But he still puts himself through it.
