# Power to the people

Some of the Tory pro-democracy, pro-transparency, devolved-power efforts this article talks about almost make me like them.

I predict, however, that their zeal for reform will be tempered when (if) they come to power next year. Reducing government power is always a great idea when your party has been out in the cold for a decade, but it may seem less so once you're savouring the sweet taste of being in charge for a change. I'd be happy to be wrong, though.
