But the other thing you've got to get right is tone. Now you will never upset a room full of
00:04
Tories by saying that you were a big fan of Margaret Thatcher. I am a big fan of Margaret
00:09
Thatcher by the way. See? But perhaps more than that, my real political hero of that era was
00:20
Ronald Reagan. And Ronald Reagan, particularly in his re-election campaign, took a staunchly
00:26
conservative agenda, but delivered it in an optimistic, passionate, upbeat, energetic way.
00:35
And we should learn from that. We've never been the nasty party. I've never subscribed to that,
00:39
but we have turned into the grumpy party. And young people are turned off by that. So let's
00:44
change that. Let's be optimistic. Let's focus on them, attract them to the party,
00:49
listen to their voices and deliver on their aspirations. And that's what I would do.
