Is David Cameron the right man to lead Britain? |
Simon Cowell says he believes that Conservative Party leader David Cameron is the right man to lead Britain through these difficult economic times.
The music mogul explained that although he has “always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics”, he is so passionate about Britain that he now wants to have his say.
The X Factor creator said praised current PM Gordon Brown as a “charming” and “very sincere man”, however he's worried about “how much more energy (Brown) can devote to a huge task ahead of him.”
Of the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, Cowell expressed concern saying: “I worry about a lot of his policies and I don't get a clear direction of what he stands for.”
But in his open letter published in (Tory backers) The Sun, Cowell says he believes David Cameron is up for the huge task ahead.
“I have met David on two occasions. I liked him immediately,” Cowell explained. “I trust him and he was very quick to commit to helping with a serious funding deficit for a children's hospice charity I am involved with.
“I have always trusted my gut instinct - and this was a guy who I thought would do the right things for this country.
“I believe he is the Prime Minister Britain needs at this time. He has substance and the stomach to navigate us through difficult times.”
Cowell also warned about the dangers of a hung parliament, adding: “Personally I think the worst result is a hung parliament. It ends in months of stupid arguments and then a dull compromise, which means nothing will ever get achieved.”
