Next Tory Leader - The Long Road to #10

Enki

Not sure they have it in them to develop, my only exposure to Conservatism are in the press this forum and the tactical drivel from Tory central which is Osbourne.

It's shocking really, how the Conservatives, party of government are conducting themselves over this. If IDS resignation is some kind starting pistol to become unelected PrimeMinister, not much can be done if someone resigns, but let them have their moment and gracefully respond. Not resort to trolling the bloke on the airwaves and printed press of the nation. Apparently he is thick again.

One mans loony is another mans potential next Prime Minister.

From the way the current government is behaving and conducting its affairs it would appear the Conservative party has elected a load of loonies into senior positions.

Speaking of Looney Tunes, Boris reminds me of Daffy Duck, intelligent but wired all wrong with the random discursive Latin. Anyway, Looney Tunes brings me unwanted attention, so I'll make no more comparisons of Boris.

If the Tories erupt into a damaging civil war after the EU referendum which then ruptures their slim majority, we could all rue the day Ed Miliband changed the Labour leadership election rules.

You really think JC would have a chance, even if the Tories do implode?

More chance of a coalition and Natalie Bennett getting the keys to number 10

That'll do.  Give the man a job

Make him Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Responsible for ensuring ponds and rivers are suitable for ducks.

In the garden city residing in their expensive duck castles.

Ouch, Iain Duncan Smith on the Marr show. He put to bed any leadership challenge. The end of social justice and the beginning unfair society in the UK, was his message, took him 6 years to realise, better late than never.

I'm sure that comment won't come back to bite you.
Well, reasonably sure.
It probably won't.
Possibly.
Maybe.
I suppose it might.
Perhaps it will.
Prepare yourself.
