I read as many do Facebook comments, and I came across the suggestion of "change" what did David Cameron mean by Change and what type of change will he bring? My own musings came to post this reply....
"The thing about the concept of change is that 9 times out of 10 the change you and the general public want is not the change that's delivered.
And you can't vote someone out on the idea that they didn't change it enough, even the most regressive governments changed the country.
Changes socially such as the welfare reform in the earlier part of ... See morethe century, fiscal reform in the 1930's (Chamberlain delivering year on year growth just after the depression) and post war reform in Attlee's government all benefited the country. Reform to the infrastructure seen during the 70's and 80's damaged the social fabric of the country*. I believe that is the damaging affects of change and change that even Cameron has suggested needs reversing.
As a manifesto idea its crap, with Obama it was I feel a proper change, a black man in a country that had only rid itself of segregation 40 years before and still had mainstream groups indulging in open racism.
With Cameron as someone (Tory I may add) pointed out, how is a man associated and part of Norman Lamont's finance team in 1992 and with relations to aristocracy anything like a break from the past. It isn't.
The only change this election brought was that the age of print journalism to bring about it's own desires is over. Dead and gone are the days of "we won it" only one paper backed the party that came second, the overall majority of papers backed a party that by all suggestions lost it and the Liberal papers got truely shafted."

* I could include the 90's and rail privatisation as it now costs the government far more to run the railways than it did under national ownership, and that's in percentage terms.
