| TALK ABOUT NEWSNIGHT Power to the people? David Cameron told us today what his big idea is for government. To do much less of it. He wants people to make many more decisions at a local level, and take much more control over running their communities - harnessing the philosophy of the " wiki-generation". "Every time we see a problem, we don't just ask what government can do. We ask what people can do, what society can do. That's the big difference between us and Gordon Brown, " he said. Is it right to devolve power in this way or should we leave it to the politicians we elect to make decisions on our behalf? Is it achievable? Is it something politicians find easy to promise in opposition, but harder to deliver on in government? Is it a new idea, or is it one that is fundamental to the idea of Conservatism anyway?
