David Cameron praises children who rise when adults enter the room The Prime Minister was speaking in Dumfries as part of the Conservatives' local election campaign. He told Scottish party members they must be the "insurgent force" campaigning for greater freedom in public services and the right for citizens to run their own local areas. The Prime Minister also gave his support to towns and villages across Britain fighting the spread of wind farms. "We shouldn't be plonking wind farms all over communities that don't want them," he said. The Tories are only the fourth most powerful party of local government in Scotland, as the Scottish National Party, Labour and the Liberal Democrats all have more councillors. In a light-hearted introduction, Mr Cameron joked about his relationship with Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat Deputy Prime Minister, saying they are "like any couple." Amid signs of strain in the Coalition over recent weeks, the Prime Minister admitted there had been ups and downs to their relationship. "I love coming to Dumfries," he said. I pass, as you do, Gretna Green on the way, and I'm reminded of my own shotgun wedding. It feels like years ago. Like any marriage there's good times, there's bad times. We - that's Nick and I - we have to work at it like any couple. I didn't expect to end up with a Liberal Democrat, but there we are. You have to make it work - and we do make it work for the good of our country.
