Cameron - Pragmatic or Ideological?
A friend of mine is embarking on an interesting piece of research on whether Dave is pragmatic or ideological since becoming leader. Obviously, actions speak louder than words, but I mentioned to him that he has 400,000 words to plough through. I have my own views, but I'd be interested in what readers think.

Pragmatic. He wants to become PM because he thinks it will look good on his CV. That is the beginning, middle and end of it, I'm afraid.
Looking on the bright side, the Tories won't be as bad as the last lot.
I don't share that point of view, but I do think that he has deliberately obscured the appearance of being ideological. The public may say that they want conviction politicians, but they don't like political geeks and are frightened of ideologists.
Pragmatic, if only because he says one thing one day and the other the next. If he had any more experience he would be just right for the job but he and his Shadow Cabinet are dilettantes and sadly we need professionals, the state the country will be in when we finally win an election.
