Michael Gove is a decent Tory, a man of principle, extraordinary intelligence and integrity.  He is also a master of the media and a man I would vote for.

His decision to campaign for the UK to leave the EU is the right one.  Cameron’s self-serving charade of negotiation is at last over.  Now we can get on with making the decision. It will be all scaremongering, fear and dire warnings from the ‘In’ campaign but in Michael Gove we have a leader who can inspire the nation towards the courageus and correct decision.

Sadly, he is the sort of man now rare in the Conservative Party but after the chaos and shameful equivocation of the Cameron years, Gove could be the man to rescue Britain.

His values are well demonstrated by the way he has dismantled the authoritarian and brutal jackboot rule imposed by Chris Grayling as Lord Chancellor at the ministry of justice but, in my view, he has a proud record in education as well.

Michael Gove, the libertarian, could be the man to persuade me away from the floundering Liberal Democrats. Now led by a quasi-socialist and more concerned with political correctness than liberalism, I am reluctant to renew my membership.  Get us out of the EU, replace Cameron with Gove and I will consider rejoining a liberal, one nation Tory party.
