We’ve just uploaded the latest magazine content, and I’d recommend you check out Fraser’s article on the initial priorities of a Cameron government. What will they be? As Fraser puts it:
“My conversations with the key players in the preparation strategy suggest unambiguously that schools reform and an overhaul of the welfare system will be the priorities — the hope being that both undertakings will have yielded palpable interim results which will help Mr Cameron secure a second term.”
In other words, the Tories will push what are currently their most promising – and fully fleshed-out – policy areas. This is no bad thing. The ideas of Chris Grayling and Michael Gove are promising for a reason – they should bring about drastic change for the better.
However, some might worry that all this contradicts Cameron’s famous claim:
“Tony Blair explained his priorities in three words: education, education, education. I can do it in three letters: NHS.
