Within months of a Conservative victory there would start the most radical decentralisation of power this country has seen for generations. (Independent, quoting David, or Dave, Cameron)
So, lots more quangos populated by Tory Party donors and retired disgraced Tory MPs "living on rations".

Then there's the phone-in democracy proposal -
"Amusingly, the Tories' crowdsourcing wheeze would appear to be a digital version of the Big Conversation, the attempt to harness the collective mind of the British public which ranks at number seven in the list of Imbecilic New Labour Ideas That Didn't Actually Kill Anyone. Crossing over to the list of Imbecilic New Labour Ideas That Killed Thousands, you might recall the Iraq war was opposed by a very large crowd – an analogue crowd, but a million-strong in London alone – who turned out to be very wise. David Cameron and his party ignored them utterly."
