@CanaryWundaboy: Actually yeah, I would prefer the Liberal Democrats, thanks for telling me what is "viable" though. They have values I stand for: [en.wikipedia.org]

Even if I am not in the UK.

p0wd3rd

A funny looking man. I like him.

@sqoon: Well let's not rule anything out, I'm sure if he thought there may be some potential for a few extra votes he would!

David Cameron did marijuana he'll have you know, and played on a computer game device in addition.

Dave is down with dat shizzle.

Krondonian

@grimlesh: He's not in the government. Yet.

yarmy

@grimlesh: Cameron isn't for video games exactly. The man's an ex ITV PR guy who likes to think that by dropping mainstream references the British electorate are going to lap him up (First politician on Jonathan Ross!?)...oh snap.

@ReignFury: Who exactly would you prefer? The Liberal Democrats? 4 more years of Labour?

Like it or not, the Tories are the only viable option for the next General Election.

CanaryWundaboy

Any chance of Kotaku doing a "Justify your Party" at the conference?

Sod rolling out the wife Cameron, BRING ON LITTLE BIG PLANET CONFERENCE!

OcelotSnake89

@pythons: so you're saying he won't be spearheading grand theft bullingdon?

sqoon

Awesome! Someone in the government who is actually for videogames!

grimlesh

Call my cynical but I'm willing to bet that David Cameron doesn't give two hoots (there's an expression I don't seem to use nearly enough) about gaming, it's just a very strange bit of PR in my humble opinion.

@Mactheridon: Why fight in real life when you can do that online? no more wars!

- Sorry, had to say that -

SegevRaz

Go for it, people!!

Let there be games and peace in the world. and what a better place to starty than the UK?

Mactheridon

@ReignFury: You say it as if it were a bad thing.

Chronixal

I very much doubt Tiga will make much of an impact, the Conservatives won't be interested in any small issues like the games industry unless they're starting better campaigning for younger voters.

Ravel

Great, another reminder that guy could soon be running our country. :(

ReignFury

That's an amazing picture of cameron.

mycodenameismylo

@Weirdwolf: With the obvious exception of ID cards, I do, to a degree, agree with nearly all of the above.

And Labour could learn from Thatcher and destroy the unions once and for all. Maybe the UK public sector could get some fucking work done instead of striking all the damn time.

Chronixal

@Balius: When will politicians learn that they just sound like phoney assholes when they make references to popular culture especially when they're ten years behind the times.

Kid-A

Its still annoying to find games being hated by all politcians here in the UK.

I hope for a day where gaming becomes as acceptable as watching a film. The Wii and Popcap bring this closer. Although I'd still rather play my 360 + PS3 but it still gives more of a positive view on gaming.

@Chronixal:

For those of us who remember Thatcher yes, yes it is.
Cameron doesn't have the balls that she did, at least she was upfront about screwing the country, hate her or loathe her your knew just what insane scheme she was going with next.
Cameron learned his politics from Blair, spin, obfuscation and smiles. Be vague, smile and distract and hopefully nobody will notice that you run a party of the elderly,(and despite the image he wants you to see the conservatives are an aging party.)
I.D. cards, increased detention without trial and reduced trial by jury,hammering the unemployed, young,poor and disabled, reducing taxes for the rich whilst cutting services for everybody else, marginalizing us in Europe and destabilizing the continent by being part of the U.S. "missile shield" will all come to pass as you get a government mired in sleaze,corruption and "do as I say not as I do" politics.

Weirdwolf

Politics is like Tomb Raider...because the controls suck and it's years behind the times?

Oh, you just mean there's a level by level progression...that's lame.

Balius

Winnie The Pooh reference. I like it.

@Chronixal:

You have no idea.
I come from a family of miners, we saw the trade decimated in the early Eighties, the coal is still there and it's cleaner than coal from Eastern Europe but whole communities were decimated, the skills are lost and they have never recovered all for a short term reduced cost.
Much like the privatization of the utilities, sold for a fraction of the real cost, producing a system that is broken,(I honestly never thought that I would miss British Rail in a million years,) and the profits squandered. We didn't get the Nation of shareholders that we were promised,(most of the shares reverted back to being in the hands of companies within years,) to paraphrase Napoleon we are a nation of debtors.
Unions are a good thing, I remember the winter of discontent and the economy in tatters, but we have swung to far the other way. Thatcher smashed the unions and altered the delicate balance to far in favour of the management, the increase movement of jobs and in part-time jobs to avoid benefits was an upshot of this. Workers have to have a way of protesting about poor pay and conditions, the unions are a good source of support to balance the equation.
My partner trained as a teacher and now works as a civil servant, the pay in the lower grades is much less than you get in the private sector for an equivalent job. When she fell ill it was only through the actions of her unions rep that she kept her job, she had seen others in similar situations lose theirs. everybody thinks of civil servants as the Sir Humphrey style ministerial aid, doing little, eating well and being paid loads, they don't see how hard teachers etc really work.
It is only when you need the help of a union do your see their strength.

Weirdwolf

@p0wd3rd: The lib dems are a joke, you're talking about a party that used to have debates about UFO's at their party conference.

Klopfer123

Cameron is a decent bloke. Glad to see this happening.

RetroBob

Cameron for England! (and wales and northern ireland and scotland and the chanel islands and the ilse of man and...hey...fukc it....cameron and Obhama...against the world!)

teeps1981

I never understood what he meant with that Tomb Raider reference. I assume it's just name dropping a random game to make him seem like he knows about popular culture, in the same vein as his hilarious 'webcameron'.

Also, my vote goes to Plaid Cymru.

Dr_Pie

I hate David Cameron with a passion, the fact that hes likely to be our next Prime Minister just makes me want to slam my face into my palm.

This just makes me dislike him more.

DavidBarbeque

Except for Dinosaurs and tigers I'm not sure how this works out.

Fabrice

There are few I hate more than David Cameron.

MinervaJibran

it is. he has no substance about him, sure gordo has made a few mistakes regarding the 10ptax etc... but the day i trust the tories with our economy, let alone in this fragile time, is the day i... well i dunno when but hopefully it'll never happen.

SukritiCrete

@Weirdwolf: funny that those that 'remember Thatcher' never remember the years leading up to her election; I suppose you think those were somehow better? I suppose you also think being one of the leading economies in the world - her work and not Brown's - is also a bad thing.

You sound exactly like a Labour politician - going on and on about the Tories 20 years ago instead of proposing anything new, conveniently forgetting their own past. Even if you do hate Thatcher, half the MPs from those days are dead or retired, and none of the cabinet back then are in the shadow cabinet now. It's like saying you wont vote for the Lib Dems because of Taff Vale - it's history and has nothing to do with the present.

lordofsword

@DavidBarbeque: Why?

sigh....

@RetroBob: Couldn't agree more. I'm looking forward to Cameron as our PM, but not nearly as much as i'm looking forward to the total destruction of Labour.

sigh....

@lumpi: noone likes david cameron. similarly to like how noone likes small children.

He's trying to fool people into thinking he's cool, while to be honest, the only ammunition he really needs is "well look at the other guy"

evercaptor

Cameron actually seems realistic when he speaks unlike any of the labour party. Will be voting conservatives in next election, I mean you cant do any worse than labour aside from have the lib dems. I reckon he will do alright, people will judge him harshly to begin with but he does have to clear up labours mess before he can get on with his own things.

@lordofsword:

"I remember the winter of discontent and the economy in tatters"
Now what part of that shows you I don't remember the years leading up to her election. I'm sure that you also remember the way the parties came into and out of power in the 70's, it was almost like being in Italy for a time there ;-)
None of the parties could have improved the situation in the 70's the oil crisis in 73, a lack of investment in industry and the cheaper imports from growing economies in the far east buggered a nation still reeling from the war.
I also remember Thatcher was on her way out till the Falklands war, a time of recession, the first that the conservatives were to see while in power.
I don't actually support the labour party, both sides have become to close and to right wing for my taste. While the cabinet of the early Thatcher years have retired the guys around at the time of her fall,who her policies had a large influence on, are still about, Portillo and Hague spring to mind as the most obvious names but there are plenty of others who may not have been M.P.s but were part of the party machine. She is the spectre that haunts the party, mention of her gets you the support of the party base even now.
Of course that party base, the heart of any party is still old enough to remember her by, the average age of a member was well into the 60's last time I heard figures with very few "younger members".
"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."
The party may have had a lick of paint and a "sunny" new demeanor added but at heart the policy makers are the same people who shaped the last conservative governments policies.

Weirdwolf

Going up the Tories have we now?

(Watched too much "Are you Being Served")

OtakuboyT

They've gone to the conservative conference? That just shows how useful Tiga are going to be in furthering awareness about the UK games Industry.

Xandros

I was watching a clip on Current TV about David Cameron. Toward the end the man who was following and filming David ask him if he believed in Jesus and that Jesus died for us. David wouldn't answer it and said it was a silly question.

Oh but the questions about The Smiths weren't silly?
