California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sunday gave Britain's
main opposition Conservative Party his action plan for winning
power and overhauling Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
The former Hollywood tough-guy, famous for his roles in the "Terminator"
films, told Conservative leader David Cameron to focus on issues
that matter to people rather than political parties.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is reported to be considering
calling a snap general election in the coming weeks, with his
governing Labour Party riding high over the Conservatives in the
opinion polls since he took over from Tony Blair in June.
Schwarzenegger had been due to appear in person at the Conservatives'
annual conference in Blackpool, on the north-west English coast,
but spoke via satellite link instead due to pressing health care
and water legislation matters in the United States.

Calling Cameron a dynamic leader, Schwarzenegger said: "Our
job is to recognise the issues that matter to the people the most
and to solve them.
"Issues like health care, balanced budgets, economic development,
education reform, public safety, infrastructure and of course
global warming and protecting the environment.
"These are not conservative or liberal issues. They are
issues everyone cares about."
He praised Cameron's leadership on climate change, which has
forced it high up the British political and social agenda.
"By being a strong and forceful voice on climate change,
David Cameron has revived your Conservative Party's green heritage
and helped strengthen Britain's resolve to set an example on this
issue," the Republican governor said.
"That is the kind of leadership people are hungry for. They
want action and results, not ideology and stalemate.
"They prefer progress with messy compromise, over defeat
with pristine principles," Schwarzenegger added.
