David Cameron ready to put the Conservative Party back in touch with the people

This afternoon it's almost certain that David Cameron will be elected leader of the Conservative Party. Cameron, the son of a stockbroker and grandson of Sir William Mount, 2nd Baronet, is the descendent of descended from the 7th Earl of Denbigh, the 1st Earl of Ducie, the 1st Earl of Carnarvon, the 2nd Earl of Egremont, the 6th Duke of Somerset and the 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury. He was educated at Eton and Brasenose College, Oxford. He spent almost seven years at Carlton Communication plc, one of the UK's leading media companies, where he was Director of Corporate Affairs and served on the Executive Board. His wife is a direct descendent of King Charles II. They have homes in West Oxfordshire, according to the Conservative Party biography, but it doesn't specify how many.

It is hoped that David Cameron will bring with him the understanding of ordinary people that is required to make the Conservative Party a political force in this country again.
