In today's Daily Express, there's a report of a magazine interview where David Cameron admits he has difficulty taking decisions. To counter this, he then says "you have to take quite tough decisions quite early on so that you can get things done within the life of a Parliament". It's time to ask what these tough decisions will be; after all, he has called for a General Election after the summer holidays.
In the Guardian earlier this month, David Cameron likened politics to a video game in which he had only reached level 2.

David Cameron may have branded Gordon Brown a "ditherer", but the Tory leader has admitted that he also sometimes has difficulty taking decisions.
His frank acknowledgement comes in a new book by GQ magazine editor Dylan Jones who was given extended access to Mr Cameron over the period of a year. "Sometimes maybe I put off making decisions that maybe I should have taken earlier," he said. Elsewhere in the book, the Tory leader stresses just how important it is to be an effective decision-maker in government. "To make decisions in the long-term interests of the country you have to take quite tough decisions quite early on so that you can get things done within the life of a Parliament," he said.
