I think it is just that his attitude does not endear him to Wales.
It's a different culture you know.
I think you know the difference.
He has to know it too and adapt.
But his philosophy is irrelevant to Wales, though you may not agree.
One has to be "in tune".
I disagree SW. We have had an Assembly for Wales for the best part of a decade and yet the Tories still have no policy on devolution? Do you not think its justifiable to question David Cameron on that?
