What happened to David Davis?

Conservative Home has the results of a poll which shows that party members think that David Davis was wrong to resign.

However they also feel that David Cameron should back him.

I have to say that the topic of freedom's seems to have gone off the agenda far quicker than it came onto it.With Davis now up against a rag tag of candidates,his attempts to force the issue onto the British puiblic have failed.

Has he squandered a cabinet position for the sake of principles that are off the agenda.

Just to remind you these are the 10 principles that Davis launched his campaign on last week

Reverse 42 days pre-charge detention – a ‘PR coup for Al-Qaeda’.

Scrap ID cards – put the £19 billion savings towards a Border Police Force and other security measures.

Immediate reversal of the ban on free speech outside Parliament.

Protect the right to trial by jury.

Stop neighbourhood spies using powers that should rest with the police and MI5.
Use intercept evidence to prosecute terrorists – but restrict bugging by local councils.

Replace 1 million innocent citizens on the DNA database with the serious criminals left off.

Make CCTV more effective (80% is unusable) – strengthen punishments for privacy abuse.

Slash the 266 separate powers the state has to force its way into the home.
Launch an independent inquiry into the government’s serial database failures.
