I agree with many of his domestic policies, many, many more than I do Cameron's. His history gives me concerns over his international politics and whether he has the ethical gumption to change his position when situations change. I think he'll do more *good than harm although his economic policies leave me wondering if the housing crisis will deepen after the short-term relief that he plans.
Overall, his election gives greater weight to my position that Party politics must be abandoned in the UK; a good enough % of electorate are ready for it, that worthwhile debate could be held.
