      To expand: was a very weak prime minister, appointed too many incompetent and extreme ministers under the pretence of "unity" and let them run rampant in government departments for six years. Mass deregulation, government authority rots away at every level, austerity's tentacles reach into every aspect of life, sets the stage for 8 years of chaos after him. Too weak to stand up to UKIP: gets us here. Foreign policy disaster. Snuggles up to our enemies. At least Sunak is mildly competent and in control of his ministers and government, even if that means not much gets done, and Starmer has no government record to be judged on. Cameron was just awful. Maybe the worst PM since North. And I don't mean that in the "the current politician I dislike is the worst person of all time" way. I mean it in the analysis of his premiership revealing that he was fundamentally a weak prime minister that left the UK's powers and laws irreversibly rotten and its place globally far diminished from where it was in 2010.

    To give Cameron credit, when everyone predicted that this coalition would not last a full parliament, Cameron and Clegg proved them wrong. It lasted five years. When you have a coalition, it helps, as one party can rein in the other. One party majority government is dangerous, Tory or Labour.

    While here in the U.S. we don't have a parliamentary system of gov't, it would behoove us to take note of this example of bipartisanship and cooperation. Political debate in Britain was very spirited, but at the end of the day the British became united in common purpose, and they honored their country in doing so. I so wish we could learn to do the same here in America! My best regards to our cousins across the pond, along with congratulations on an outstanding example to the rest of the world!

Respect of a private property, through a market competition. A unconditional recognition of universality and an optimality of traditional values entered in any model of ideology. On these bases our classical traditional world was under construction.
