  Michael Gove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Andrew Gove (born August 26, 1967, Edinburgh) is a British politician, journalist and author.
Before becoming a candidate, Gove had expressed the view that the state should not generally interfere in domestic affairs, campaigned for greater personal freedom and wrote that "Section 28 is a nonsense" [1].
Gove is seen as part of an influential set of young up-and-coming Tories, sometimes disparagingly referred to as the Notting Hill set, including David Cameron, George Osborne, Edward Vaizey, Nicholas Boles and Rachel Whetstone.

 James Hammerton's Blog: 04/25/2004 - 05/01/2004
Gove's article is ludicrously entitled "Why David Blunkett is the real civil libertarian", but maybe that merely shows Gove has a sense of humour.
Gove starts off talking about prejudices, with his main point being that many people, understandably after the experiences of the 20th century, have a prejudice against the state exercising arbitrary authority.
The problem Gove is forgetting here is that Blunkett has been attacking civil liberties so outrageously and relentlessly that no one trusts him, and the civil libertarians are continuously on the defensive against this that and the other attack Blunkett proposes.

Gove also seems faintly off-message when asked about Howard's recent grandstanding on immigration, arguing that the proposed crackdown on newcomers is only a prelude to a rosy era of liberal Tory policy.
The idea Gove himself once advanced in a column was for a slightly thinktankish system in which individuals could acquire citizenship by paying an annual sum in excess of normal tax, "thus proving to everyone that they were net economic assets".
Gove was born in Edinburgh in 1967, and adopted at four months by a family from Aberdeen.
