Cameron’s YouTube interview

YouTube’s news and politics editor, Steve Grove, does another one of his asynchronous video interviews, this time bagging UK Conservative leader David Cameron. He says that being on YouTube gives politicians a chance to show their human side: “We’re not some sort of race apart, we’re people like anyone else.”

Asked what he would do if he had a magic wand, Cameron says that “politicians doesn’t have all the answers — that’s part of my credo: government can’t change everything.” But — since you asked, if he were this fairly godmother, he’d strengthen the family. Two conservative credos in one video snippet.

And he’s proud to be a Briton because “as a country we can punch above our weight. We’re incredibly fortunate. We’ve got the English language. We’ve got a successful economy. We’ve got great links around the world through the Commonwealth, through the European Union, through NATO, through our special relationship with America. We’ve got great relationships and I think Britain can be a champion of liberal democracy. I think we need to be a practical people and recognize the limits of our power and influence. But I think we can be a force for good. We can work with our allies to actually increase demoracy, prosperity and stability in the world. And that’s what we should do.”
