Schwarzenegger's blueprint for terminating British PM
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.
