Why Doesn't Cameron Promise to Repeal Bliar's Laws?

[jap-car]

It seems that the majority of the country object to Bliar's wave of authoritarian laws. Why therefore (or have I missed it) doesn't Cameron promise to repeal these laws if he comes to power? Does Cameron want these powers too? Is he a clone of Bliar?

The Labour party whinged about charges for dentistry and eye tests.

They never repealed them though.

A damn good question. One we should be asking our tory MP's at every opportunity.

Maybe they don't want to appear too radical. We all know politicians say one thing and then do another, just like this shower we've got today.

Cameron is a real worry.

The idiot's gone green....

Cameron is just Blair, but with a better-looking missus...

Because he wants the power that blair has, and will probably sell his soul for them. He'll even sit at his kitchen table and create a manifesto and policies that his heart doesn’t believe in for them.

Because its too early. Let Blur keep digging his hole for the time being, hes happy in his hole digging away - why stop him?

Wait till the next General Election campaign starts - then start talking about repealling unjust laws.

Fred the brickie said "'ere Stoo, no madder oo you vote for , the gummint always get's in". Same shit, different colour ties.

Most probably because if he mentioned it Labour would can his ass for being soft on terrorism and a shandy drinking treehugger.

The laws that are being pushed through are a godsend for all politicians, maybe they figure there is greater benefit in keeping them than visibly opposing them. If any of them had caused mass protest & condemnation then they may be more suitable for a party to oppose.

He will not promise to repeal a law if he agrees with it.

Where the Tories do disagree they already have made a commitment to repeal some of the laws enacted since 1997. To take two examples the Tories are committed to repealing the ban on foxhunting and increasing the power of local institutions (though that is also reversing what they themselves did in their previous time in office.)

The Tories are currently conducting a policy review that still has some months to go. I’m sure by the time of the next election there will be many more examples.
