Re: David Davis - honourable stance or opportunistic populism?

interesting post on a guardian blog:

poster 1: "don't believe for a moment that the Tories would do anything different in power"

poster 2: "Where's your evidence? I keep hearing this - where is your evidence?

And why do you think DD is doing this? To force Cameron's hand, so he CANNOT backtrack on opposition to 42 days, on opposition to ID cards, on opposition to a national DNA database.

By doing this today, DD is guaranteeing that the incoming Tory government cannot behave like Labour has."


interesting idea. if davis really is serious, this might be a reason to do it, and might explain why cameron is apparently unhappy. there again it could all just be a beautifully stage managed stunt.
