Is the Indy about to turn?

After the Guardian's foray into Tory politics it seems that the Independent may soon be turning as well.

It's new editor Roger Alton is interviewed in the Guardian this morning and amongst his many musings he says of the Tory leader that he is

right on a "whole heap of things" but stops short of promising the Tory leader his paper's full support in a poll. He wants the Indy to live up to its name and stay "nimble".
"Cameron [has got] the social values right. It's a very skilful piece of strategic engineering, showing himself as someone who cares about social issues and social divisions, it shows him as having core values. He is an immensely attractive guy, charming and very smart." He sees the same quality in Tony Blair and Nick Clegg, praising them as "blokes doing the right things".
