39 year old David Cameron was promoted to Education Secretary by Micheal Howard when he became leader in 2003. Since then, he has gained real momentum ending in the Top Tory job.
He says he wants an end to 'punch and judy politics' meaning the opposition party opposes and rejects proposals by the government simply because they are in opposition.
Only time will tell now whether he does what he says and takes action on the mandate he unveiled in the run up to the leadership election results.
