Probably make things worse, as the public vote us out of Europe...
But you asked what policy there was that might change things, so I answered
Personally I dont think Cameron has "sealed the deal" with the British public and there is a large slice of the Tory party who aren't too keen either. Even this week Boris Johnson intimated that Cameron has questions to answer about his loan flipping and Hague sometimes seems to treat his party leader with condescention bordering on contempt.
Europe could well be the issue that trips him up as it has done to so many of his predecessors,.

That's his job as opposition leader.
There are two approaches to the main problem: the economic crisis. One is for the government to try to spend us out of it, which builds up an enormous debt causing pain and stagnation for several decades, the other is to rein in spending and cut the size of the state, which probably builds up a smaller debt but damages some industries in the long term and individual lives and small businesses in the short term.
Both ways cause a lot of pain and neither is attractive. Brown wants the former, Cameron wants the latter. The decision is better taken now because Brown is building his debt mountain week by week.
Well put Daniel J
so really (if I catch your drift) is that Cameron would cut public spending ..the nhs...benefits system etc
He says not but I imagine he will.
Look, check out the projected debt mountain over the next few years. The amount of interest we'll be paying just to maintain that is absolutely huge. The government is manipulating all the big economic thingies like the value of sterling, interest rates, gilt coupons, and so on, to make it a bit less painful but there's lots of risk in there because of loans in foreign money and our sovereign creditworthiness. We simply can't carry on spending indefinitely.
This is way beyond balancing budgets over an electoral term as a piece of political philosophy. The country is in very, very dire straits.
