It is looking likely that there is going to be some form of Shadow Cabinet reshuffle over the summer. Cameron needs to ensure that he surrounds himself with individuals capable of effecting real change as government ministers. Otherwise the first year of a Cameron government will be wasted (just like Blair's first term!).
As ever my concern is the lack of real quality at the top level of our political parties. When Cameron surveys his team he will see lots of people just like him - i.e. with little experience of the business world or the world outside Westminster. Just like old Daveo himself.
I can think of a handful of up and coming Tory MPs with real experience outside of politics. Shadow ministers like Justine Greening have real world & business experience and will be excellent in government. Others are ad men, lightweights, and the usual collection of political nerds who have gone from university, to working for the party, to parliament.
Please Mr C, lets have substance in your appointments and not a bunch of camera loving lightweights.
