"Simon Cowell has shown his support for Prime Minister David Cameron, describing him as a &amp;quot;decent guy&amp;quot;. The X Factor judge told Sky News that the Government&amp;#039;s latest Budget reflects a new feeling of optimism for the UK.   He said: &amp;quot;I like David. I think he&amp;#039;s a decent guy and his wife is a really nice person. He cares passionately about this country.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;Whenever I get knocked for what I do, I always say I pay my taxes. I care about where the money&amp;#039;s spent. &amp;quot;But I feel there&amp;#039;s a sense of optimism again in this country, compared to what it was like four or five years ago. People seem to be more confident.&amp;quot; The 54-year-old also spoke about becoming a father for the first time, welcoming son Eric on February 14.  However, he revealed that he does not plan to take on all parenting duties. &amp;quot;I feed Eric, I talk to him and play with him,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But I don&amp;#039;t think dads do changing nappies. I&amp;#039;ll leave that up to the nanny.&amp;quot; Joined by Harry Hill, the pair also discussed their upcoming X Factor spoof musical I Can&amp;#039;t Sing! Speaking about the show&amp;#039;s various technical issues leading up to its official launch, he said: &amp;quot;If it was the other way round, if it was all working perfectly but the show was rubbish, then we&amp;#039;d have a real problem.&amp;quot; Cowell will return to this year&amp;#039;s X Factor, along with fellow judge Cheryl Cole.
