Cameron’s speech: low key for a potential PM

All pretty low key in hall for a leader potentially on edge of power. Doubt Thatcher in 78 was like this – though bits of the message are similar (talk of enterprise and entrepreneurs etc).

I know Tony Blair in 1996 was nothing like this. If the intention was to look workmanlike and not euphoric/presumptuous maybe it works .. With one or two exceptions he doesn’t go for Brown. That’ll be different in the Commons next week.
