I've only just caught up this week with a repeat of David Cameron's apology for voting against the repeal of Section 28. This is a welcome apology from the Conservative leader (though I have concerns about the party he leads, and their views on topics such as their voting record on gay rights).
There's another point here, though: I welcome the opportunity for any politician, but particularly a party leader, to note they were wrong on a topic. But it would have been better for Cameron to have known he was wrong at the time and voted accordingly, rather than to have voted as he did and apologise for it later.
If he is going to be the next Prime Minister, I hope he doesn't spend whatever time he has in that office making decisions that he spends the rest of his life apologising for.
