David Cameron - Do's and Don'ts

'CAMERA-ON CAMERON'

The political adventure playground is looking decidedly easy for Cameron as for once lack of Conservative political policy is not on the agenda for media scrutiny. All Cameron has to do is look in the camera and show poise and confidence, no policy talking is required. Team GB, on the other hand is a 'car crash' - Economically, Socially, and in my opinion they have given-up governing. Cameron having been in PR, knows the pitfalls at even being too good at demolishing Labour at the moment, which a 5 year old could do without much trouble at the moment. It's time for Team Cameron to keep the over excessive smiles to themselves. It is a position the Conservatives have not been in.. there-fore some deliberate policies is required on the scale of a Dominic Little action plan.

However, in politics anything can happen - so over-doing the photo-shoots on rides at Alton Tours or jetting off to drifting ice blocks - parading the Green message, totally forgetting the amount of CO2 emissions that was involved, just for a pointless exercise. No photo-shoots of shaking hands with the ASBRO hoodie, making him look in-touch with yob culture and knife crime is not required for once. It all looks too easy for Cameron; all he has to do is nothing. The only thing that could cause indecisiveness to the electorate is if he appears too cocky; that could be David Cameron's undoing if Labour pulls itself together instead of all the back-benchers brawling like boozed-up Brits on the Costas, and a particular Mr. Ditherer actually comes up with get-out-of-jail clauses of a scale of 'raising Lazarus'; it is all possible. It will required 'think out of the box' politics that will mean perhaps another Obama visit is in order, or maybe, get a mindset transplant from super-human Michael Phelps.

The camera is on Cameron; it maybe a silent movie but at least there is transmission. The problem is when the electorate takes the mute button off, and starts listening. The conference season is nearly here and Cameron will be advising his party to 'prepare for power' which looks good on paper, but will it have any substance? You could say that if it is over-done it really is proof that the big lead in polls would be proof that it all has gone to Cameron's head, and exposes an overbearing self-worth, that could give a big leg-up for Clegg.

I must admit that another missed opportunity has arisen by Team GB, when the PM decided to take the cabinet out of Westminister for a meeting stroke walk-out in the inner cities of UK; to mix with the public and get in touch with reality. It was going to be the only time a PM had done this with his cabinet ever. Yet there was no recognizable media coverage; except for a bit of after-thought broadcasted lineage which didn't have any pictures let alone footage, that this actually took place. A general election is now only 21 months away, if, that deems as true of course.

Please refrain in your seats please no date has been officially made; but it is not too early to campaign, and the above cabinet school trip' styled walk-about was an opportunity MISSED. - Cameron knows the camera is on him; he has made blunders and has been allowed to sweep it under the carpet, due to the fact the media has not picked up on it. It will be completely different, if he is in power of course. Voters are notoriously hard on candidates who assume they are the chosen one, unless you are Jose Mourinho and that's allowed - maybe because he's a foreigner the media stick gave him a 'tongue in cheek' positive stance. Cameron doesn't have that freedom - He like all politicians are subjected to mass scrutiny all levels. When, politicians start justifying themselves in any arena; it is usually a make or break for their careers. Cameron has the luxury at present to turn around gaffs that normally could prove 'own goals' - Cameron can at the moment show his personality and bring the electorate closer to the unpolished Cameron that could win hearts when making a difficult decision in the ballot box.

Cameron would be silly to think the premiership is in the bag. He is not infallible, nor is he that openly intricately that clever; but he is an opportunist and that could be Team GB's undoing. One of the biggest jokes I've heard earlier this year was not giving the Police any back-pay due to lost income, claiming it would raise inflation. The stupidity of that claim proved Team GB were not seeing the bigger picture, or were thinking of the electorate.

Policy starts at home and when that is damaged oppositions have an easy ride and this is what has happened. A complete re-shape is required by Team GB, going into the last 20 months (allegedly), for the race to Number 10.

It will be complacency that will stop Team Cameron taking Gold at Number 10. The climate is in favor of change, the polls are not all together wrong regarding to public opinion and political attitudes.

Fortunately for Team GB they do have experience on their side. They can stop the rot, by being more transparent and investing in the electorate would be a stepping stone; however, I feel there ethics are beyond recognizing a vision for GB and so the influential, fresh faced lobbyists choose other grounds to fight there cause, and that means the fresh ideas are coming from the Tories.

It is no doubt that Team Cameron's energy levels are souring; and now the Con conference is to be lectured on how to prepare for power. It is a completely different tact to past conferences. If, it is seen as too assumptive the pendulum will swing back to Team GB. However, if the correct amount of tact is employed it would be another triumph; especially as Team GB has their conference a week before, giving them less time to get over their sun-kissed, brain numbing breaks. I will expect lobster color red for next months Manchester Conference, as the MP's enjoy the luxuries of MP status, as for some it could be their last. They need a helium motivated Brown with a rocket up his rear to see off his looming demise; his task is so epic Beijing style smog will have to appear above Manchester, to save his Premiership status.

In comparison, Team Cameron's rally in Birmingham potentially reeks of a victory celebration before anyone has put a cross on a single ballot paper.

The chances of a leadership challenge to Brown is imminent, it will be a disaster to the party and would undermine the UK economic status worldwide now that Bank of England Chairman Mervin King has said that word 'recession', and reported July's inflation rate of 5% and souring.

Team Cameron could in 2010 win the election by default without even competing, to a high level of performance; that is required in government. It is worrying times. However, the real Team GB knows how to compete with the best and is doing our nation proud.
