Don,

I would like to feel confident about Cameron.

I am encouraged by his apparent willingness to negotiate and compromise for the good of the country.

I would feel more so if his Cabinet reflected a new outlook, but with Clarke, Hague, Duncan-Smith and Letwin in there I can't help but wonder if the very vague Cameron is much more than the charismatic mask of the Thatcherite old guard.

As you say though, time will reveal all.
