Welcome to The Policy of the Month, brought to you by David Cameron's Tory Party, still scrabbling around for policy ideas with a General Election possibly just around the corner.

Match of the Day viewers are used to voting on their favourite goal, and it seems the Conservatives are only one step off doing the same with policy.

In recent weeks, we have had: National Service for 16-year-olds New top band for vehicle excise duty to cover large 4x4 vehicles School buses to carry adults to boost public transport in rural areas Charging people to park at out-of-town supermarkets.

Which one floats your boat? With all this floating of ideas to see which one catches the public eye, it will increasingly seem as though they are a party without a clue.

So it is Streets for People Day this weekend. One of those worthy but, sad to say, utterly pointless demonstrations of people power. It may seem very Citizen Smith ("Power to the Pedestrians!") but if you want to take over your street, you have to fill out a nice little form which advises you to take into account the views of people who may not want their street closed off.

Come the revolution, if you haven't posted your Revolution Application Form 19B17C(i) 28 days ahead of the planned coup, you could be fined £150.

Interesting to see Boris wading into the Madeleine McCann case on his blog. Good old Boris, not afraid to dabble his feet in the muddy waters of public opinion. But, he is unlikely to have to make any apologies for this one. A reasoned, balanced and sympathetic analysis of the media's wallowing in this tragic case.

The effects of the flooding are going to be with us for some time as the county council finds itself between a rock and a hard place. The cost of flood repairs means school and road improvements will play second fiddle to sorting out the mess left by the floods. Of course, raising the council tax could help pay for flood repairs and keep services up to scratch. But the Tories can't be seen to raising taxes. So, council tax will stay down, but our schools and roads may well suffer.

And good to hear Mr Cameron will be out on the streets of Woodstock with PCSOs tomorrow, telling people not to open their doors to strangers. Let's hope that anyone questioning Mr Cameron's credentials has a number they can ring to check he's who he says he is.
