Failed anagram[edit]
Cameron is almost a macaroon.
What other apt confections are there for politicians? 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Dominic Raab = Midair Bacon, if that helps? Mr Larrington (talk) 01:14, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
Is the twat done for yet?[edit]
The recent events indicate he might be hanging onto power by a slim margin... His majority in the commons isn't all that big to begin with... What would it take for him to be thrown out by his own party or enough Tory backbenchers breaking ranks for him to lose the majority? Him fucking a goat?

- Unlikely. There's another four years to an election, and a surprising amount of people will write it off along the lines of "well, we all did stuff at uni". As for his majority, even if he loses his thirty odd majority, the DUP and the UUP tend to vote conservative, and he could possibly rely on the eight odd Lib Dem MPs. Leander (talk) 16:17, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- But what if there is a "palace revolt" within the Tories? I think the only thing that keeps Johnson from staging a coup right now is that he does not like the chances of the Conservative party if four years... Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 19:05, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Some things to add[edit]
- Passing Psychoactive Substances Act, arguably the dumbest and most ridiculed peace of legislation in the history of the country, which bans all mood-altering agents, including those that are yet to be discovered, allowing only those pre-approved by the government: alcohol, tobacco and prescription anti-depressants.
- Rigging the 2020 election. [1]
- Driving the local public transport services into even deeper neglect. [2]

Living Person[edit]
The living person template is just up there, but in the article we have this:
Let's get this outta the way: when he was drunk in school, he had sex with a dead pig, jumped on restaurant tables, and screamed about how much he hated the poor.—RW
Note the lack of any "Ashcroft claimed ..." in the above. I suspect that Lord Ashcroft's Teflon is a bit tougher than RationalWiki's. The reference cited is the Express website of all things and even they are more careful. 2.120.188.144 (talk) 16:44, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Cameron thinks the "Centrist stupidity" are right.[edit]
David Cameron was economically liberal[1], but socially moderate libaral[1]. For example, same-sex marriage was legalized under Cameron's government.
Cameron is also a mainstream politician who doesn't tend to be populist like Boris Johnson. He, of course, held the Brexit vote in consideration of the position of conservatives within the party, but personally, he knows it as the opposite.
The British Conservative Party is a center-right party, and Cameron is known for his centrist tendencies within the Party. I think the "Centrist stupidity" category is appropriate for him. In South Korea, Cameron is known as a liberal conservative
[1] within the party.--BluePink (talk) 08:33, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Cameron, in particular, was a relatively moderate politician compared to Britain's Conservative Party, which is dominated by the current right-wing conservatives. The category must be maintained.--BluePink (talk) 09:05, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 The word 'liberal' here is more of a 'liberal' in Europe than in the United States. In other words, 'liberal' here does not mean left-wing. (ex. Economically liberalism usually means a right-wing view of the economy(=centre-right to right-wing). Speaking of liberalism in the United States, it usually means social liberalism or cultural liberalism, which means left-wing liberalism(=centre-left).)
