The man who would be prime minister

摘要

Of the dlary commitments David Cameron had scheduled either side of his interview with The Economist on August 18th, the first, an appearance alongside a feted intellectual at London's Royal Society for the Arts, would enthuse Gordon Brown. The second, a campaign tour, would appeal to Tony Blair. Though he is neither as showily cerebral as the current prime minister nor as scintillating a retail politician as the previous one, Mr Cameron is adept in both settings.
