Conservative Campaign Headquarters is currently humming with busy purpose, as we buzz about like worker drones, making our contribution to the task of replacing Brown’s grey and weak premiership with a strong and united Conservative government.
David Cameron fired the election starting gun on the first working day of January and our team in CCHQ has grown in strength and numbers in response. Gordon Brown is holding back naming a date for the election because it reminds everyone that he still has strings to pull, but his fingers are grey and tired and his delay opened the door for Hewitt and Hoon to rock the boat once more on his beleaguered leadership.
While quietly confident that the Conservative Party is ready to deliver change as the UK’s next government, we are far from complacent. We know that we need a swing of 117 seats to win a majority of just one, as our Chairman Eric Pickles points out in his War Room Briefing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpNA6Aykbbo
My role at CCHQ is a humble one and I do not want to expostulate wildly about Tory policy in this brief article; there are many who are better qualified to speak on our behalf than I. However, it is with quiet pride that I work where I work and I am pleased to do the job that I do. What better place to start one’s career in politics than at the hub of our campaign machine in the run-up to an election that we feel that we can win; the excitement is palpable, the gloves are off, the nation is ready for change.
