Podcast: the passion of David Cameron and whether 2015 will be another 1992

Should David Cameron be showing more passionate in this election campaign? On this week’s View from 22 podcast, Fraser Nelson and James Forsyth discuss their interview with the Prime Minister in the magazine this week and whether Cameron is feeling optimistic about his reelection chances. Was the PM open about his apparent failure to sell the successes of this government to voters? Will Cameron convince the country that he really does want a second term? And with two weeks to go, is the election a done deal?

Matthew Parris and Martin Vander Weyer also look back at the 1992 election campaign and whether the Tories can hope for a similar last minute leap in popularity in 2015. Was John Major a more likeable character than David Cameron? Does Ed Miliband suffer the same problems as Neil Kinnock? And would a soapbox be the answer for the PM?

Plus, Lara Prendergast and Louise Bailey discuss the geopolitics of hair extensions.
