Why David Cameron Needs To Learn A Lesson from Dmitry Medvedev

Posted by janetmackinnon on November 13, 2009

The Russian President & Prime Minister

mp_main_wide_Medvedev_Putin

Yesterday’s “State of the Nation” address by the Russian President should be noted by David Cameron and the Conservative Party.

In this address, Mr Medvedev stresses the need to transform the Russian economy and to tackle corruption.

Whilst Britain and Russia are very different countries, these challenges also apply equally here.

In short, Britain needs to reduce her dependence on what might be called the speculative economic sectors : namely, key parts of the financial services, property and construction sectors.

The “New Soviet” legacy of not only of the present government but also Conservative-controlled councils whose local “states” have swelled unsustainably  in recent years must also be tackled, along with the monopolistic and anti-competitive practices contributing to the rise of Tescograd.

It should be noted that Mr Medvedev’s colleague, Mr Vladimir Putin – seen in front in the above picture – describes himself as “conservative”, and presided - in his former role as Russian President – over the growth of large monopolistic enterprises.

With regard to corruption, Mr Cameron may well have to consider demoting and jailing  a few British oligarchs, as happened during Mrs Thatcher’s time in office. Mrs Thatcher was, of course, a friend of Mr Gorbachev, as a man she could do business with !

Finally, with regard to the police, I would like them to drive more carefully when not attending an emergency : perhaps a new driving manual is required, along with the 93 page document they have been issued on cycling – a tome of which I’m sure any old Soviet bureaucrat would have been proud.
