David Cameron loses the plot at the Gay Times

The Barnet Conservatives are an open minded lot. They have lead the way in promoting equality and fairness within the council and within the Conservative Party. Our beloved Mayor, Brian Coleman is out and proud of it. For a while, both the Leader of the Council and the Mayor were both openly Gay Conservatives. The former leader is now one of the seven (I believe that to be the number) openly gay Conservative candidates. It is a tribute to the people of Barnet that this is not an issue that has ever been mentioned to me on the doorstep. People are relaxed about the private lives of our politicians and rightly so. No one, from any party would make the sexuality of a candidate an election issue and if they did they would be given short shrift from voters and their fellow party members. For the Barnet Eye blog, it is a matter of some pride that all of the parties in Barnet have their feet firmly placed in the 21st century and this is one area which we are united. Sadly, not all members of the Conservative Party are as committed to freedom and equality as our local politicians. In a recent interview with The Gay Times, Conservative Leader David Cameron was asked about a rather unfortunate vote by some of his MEP's. I was rather shocked to see how badly David Cameron responded to the questions and how he got completely flustered. This is the man who wants to be the next Prime Minister.

The sad thing about this is that Cameron really should have anticipated such questions in an interview with Gay Times shouldn't he? What did he expect them to ask him questions about. I never thought I would say this but it seems Mr Cameron and his MEP's could learn much from his Conservative Colleagues in Barnet.
