The Sun is not Britain’s top selling paper for no reason.  It is a 
very shrewd judge of what its readers think.

Here is their verdict on the conference season.  - NOT necessarily mine!

THE SUN SAYS ---   2.10.08
HE’S READY
DAVID Cameron finally stood up yesterday and showed what he is made of.

Gone was the show pony politician. In his place emerged a tough 
leader, a young but credible statesman with potent ideas for 
rebuilding our nation.

Mr Cameron said the words his party wanted to hear. He echoed their 
hero, Margaret Thatcher, calling for “strong defence, sound money and 
the rule of law”.

The Tory leader insisted there would be “no new dawns, no overnight 
transformations”.
“I am a man with a plan, not a miracle cure,” he said.
He addressed the concerns of many voters outside the conference hall 
— State meddling, the welfare culture, the explosion of “senseless, 
barbaric violence”.

But it will be the reaction of Sun readers that counts in the end.

This speech could have been lifted straight from a Sun editorial — 
from backing Our Boys on the front-line to mending Britain’s broken 
society.

Our readers want more classroom discipline, support for families and 
tax help for married couples.
That, said Mr Cameron, is what they will get.

A Tory government will call a referendum on the hated EU 
Constitution. It will end the abuse of the EU Human Rights Act and 
replace it with a sensible bill of rights.

Freed
GCSE testers who give marks to kids for using the F-word will learn a 
new one: “You’re FIRED.”

Police will be freed from the tyranny of political correctness.

NHS doctors will answer to patients, not Whitehall. Labour had 
“ripped the soul” out of the health service, he said, quoting a curt 
letter from Health supremo Alan Johnson to the widower of an MRSA 
victim.

Mr Cameron vowed to sweep away sleazy Westminster deals on pay and 
gold-plated pensions for MPs.

He addressed calls for tax cuts and promised 3p off business taxes — 
but insisted he must first cut Britain’s massive burden of debt.
“I admire entrepreneurs,” he said with a cheeky smile to his wife, 
Samantha. “I go to bed with one every night.”

This was a powerful, coherent speech, addressing hard economic 
questions with sensible solutions.
Far from looking like a “novice”, Mr Cameron delivered the most 
confident and compelling speech of the political season.

“You can’t PROVE you are ready to be Prime Minister — it would be 
arrogant to pretend you can,” said Mr Cameron.

And he’s right. The Tory Party has come a long way under his 
leadership. There is much still to be done.

But with this nail-hammering performance, he showed he is more than 
qualified to give it a try.
