Monday 3rd November Britain's leading conservative blog
Highlights from the weekend

ToryDiary on Saturday: "John McCain will lose the race for the White House.  ConservativeHome readers' favourite conservative - John Howard (in a vote last year) - was ousted a year ago.  Centre right leaders in Europe are a mixed bunch.  Germany has trended left under the grand coalition led by Angela Merkel.   Sarkozy has many excellent qualities but his recent lurches towards protectionism and state intervention are worrying.  Two hopes shine most brightly: Stephen Harper in Canada and David Cameron in Britain.  At the heart of David Cameron's appeal is his agenda for social reform.  He put it front and centre during his Party Conference speech.  It's the biggest idea in centre right politics anywhere in the world."

Douglas Carswell MP on CentreRight: "Defence procurement policy is run in the interests of a few contractors - not our armed forces.  It is better at putting money on to the balance sheet of big corporations than at equipping our armed forces.  No amount of friendly lobbying by the big contractors can change that fact.  Noone can improve procurement without recognising the fact."

Liam Maxwell on Platform: How the internet took Obama back to the 1950s
