I HOPE David Cameron noticed the recent opinion polls published in the newspapers and decides to stand down as leader of the Conservative Party.

It is no wonder that Labour is beaming like a Cheshire cat, as it does not have any real competition in any elections.

Mr Cameron has moved the Conservatives to the left and the party desperately needs a new leader, as the current number one Blue is on a dreadful par with Iain Duncan Smith.

The only way to make the Tories a force in British politics again is to elect William Hague as leader.

There is simply no other way forward.

It is about time that somebody wiped the smug grins off the faces of the Labour politicians and councillors and Mr Hague may just be the fellow to do that.

Step forward, William. Your country needs you.
