One was that he suddenly seemed more serious about his politics - particularly in the second half of his speech - which appeared to stem at least in part from fatherhood. It's no longer a question of theoretical principle or showing how brilliant he is at communication - but about making a better world for someone who matters to him. The second was that he struck me as someone who had become more aware of his political mortality. I don't think he's ever felt that threatened by his peers. But the latest generation of MPs is different. And while his potential successors may not yet be ready to take over from him - they are now sitting in the House of Commons.Martin Todhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401659800580964546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-1130008473596039712005-10-22T20:14:00.000+01:002005-10-22T20:14:00.000+01:00Or perhaps the glass is half full, and Cameron wil...Or perhaps the glass is half full, and Cameron will be the political spur that prompts Charles to raise his game to the level of which we all know he is capable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
