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.”
