In 1992 I am sure he genuinely believed in the European project but experience and the facts can change your political ideology. He is definitely, and unambiguously, eurosceptic now. David Davis has no charisma. He may as well make any promise he likes for the Conservative election victory in 2009 because with him, though his policies are more right-wing, we will not win. The electorate is, without question, media-oriented. The Conservative Party has got to stop picking leaders based solely on their ideology. William Hague, IDS and Michael Howard all had acceptable (though still not perfect) ideology but they could not appeal to the general public. David Cameron is young.

When David was a political adviser to John Major he actually supported us adopting the Euro and going back into the ERM – which is what lost us our image of economic competence! Not only this, but David Cameron is – and you cannot deny it – inexperienced. He simply doesn’t know how to handle himself in a crisis. I’m sorry but at the moment you just cannot trust David Cameron to make the right judgement in a situation of crisis or emergency. David Davis, on the other hand, is a known Eurosceptic who believes firmly in bringing powers back from Brussels. Not only this, but he is well experienced both in the business and political world. Gavin,

Davis will not win an election (and so his policies on England are moot) and he has distanced himself from the English Parliament referendum that he once called for.

Also, Cameron is a tit - he's a Tory clone of Traitor Blair.
