Renew America, er... England!

David Cameron, putative successor to Prime Minister Gordon Brown, wrote a barn-burner of an article in The Guardian last week. 

The size, scope and role of government in Britain has reached a point where it is now inhibiting, not advancing the progressive aims of reducing poverty, fighting inequality, and increasing general wellbeing. Indeed, there is a worrying paradox – because of its effect on personal and social responsibility, the recent growth of the state has promoted not social solidarity, but selfishness and individualism.

The first step is to redistribute power and control from the central state and its agencies to individuals and local communities. That way, we can create the opportunity for people to take responsibility.

Liberal British commenters, like pigeons to a statue, dumped all over it.  I'm not a British subject, and I really don't understand their politics, so I shouldn't take sides.  But I couldn't help wonder why no one in the GOP writes articles like this.
