Cameron seems the best to win, but Davis might be better for "connecting to the masses" with his much-advertised council estate background, and single mother...
The drug thing with Cameron gives him a slight boost with the public, I think. It shows he is consistent and hold a point for a damned long time, and makes him seem more human.
Although I still think that it would be nice if Dr Fox won for the reason I stated above...
Read in the Independant that "The Drug thing" has worked wonders for Cameron, as everyones asking "What drugs did you take and were you at an orgy at the time?" instead of "How can you lead the Tory party when you've only been an MP for 4 years or so.
Does seem a kind of meteoric rise. Do Orgahs think Cameron would make a good leader for the Tories? The other 2 (David & Fox) do seem like the charisma-less chumps the tory party excels at churning out in leadership contests recently.
Davis does seem extremely dull. But is he as dull as Brown? That's the question people will be asking if he wins.Quote:

Would have been better if he had had a proper job instead of being a policy wonk/PR person.Quote:

I look forward to using my ballot paper to snort some charlie.
snort some charlie? is that what they call coke in England~:confused:
Its what I call coke in England. I dare say it hasn't been called charlie for about ten years now.
Not that David Cameron would know what it was called ten years ago, of course. Or today. or ever.
:laugh4:
Well David Cameron has got the leadership, I think he might turn out to be a Conservative Bliar.
What, another one???Quote:

I for one am pleased with the result. A young leader's always good - if they're good enough to get in without the experience of some old git, then they're clearly more than capable for the job. And hopefully they'll be brash enough to do something odd, like improve things...
Of course... 39 - still 16 years too old.
They're gonna have to perform some freaking miracles before I forget what those total ******* did last time.
How many of them ended up in prison?
NOT ENOUGH!
Even Maggies lil boy can start a coup, a bloody COUP of all things! And he gets what, house arrest?
I'm no great fan of labour either btw, but at least they resign when caught; and none of them have even got close to the bottom feeding life forms that the last tory government epitomised.
I haven't read any of the previous posts in this thread as I have deep concerns that anyone saying the tories being voted out was the worst thing that happened to the country may make my eye's bleed.
er... Peter Mandelson (x2), Donald Dewar, Ron Davies, Geoffrey Robinson, Mike O'Brien, Keith Vaz, Stephen Byers, David Blunkett (x2), Beverley Hughes...and then there was the Bernie Ecclestone incident....oh yes as pure as the driven slush this bloody lot, no suggestion of impropriety at all.Quote:

Jeesh some people ...........~:joker:
Since this whole deal started I've seen a lot more of Cameron. Can't say I'm impressed, the comparison with Blair is apt; in particular his condescending, patronising tone is similar.
Still, I refrain from too much complaining until he actually makes clear what his policies would be were he in office, or if he resorts to simply criticising Labour without actually providing a viable alternative.
Probably...economically right-wing, socially centre right.Quote:

Just to add to IA comments:
Sorry to disappoint you but that coup wasn't actually official Tory party policy. If the freelance activity of a dickhead son of a long gone former leader is the best you can do...Quote:

No disrespect mate, you can hate the tories for whatever reason you like, right down to bad haircuts, only its not that convincing to the rest of us.
I am amazed (slightly biased I admit but still amazed) that in light of the little list that IA posted, not to mention the small bleedin' matter of starting a WAR on the basis of lies, that some people STILL believe the old 1997 Alistair Campbell bollox that Labour= pure and Tories=sleaze.
this is even before we get onto eroding civil liberties and urinating taxpayers money up the wall.
Almost the perfect man... now if he only came out to support the Empire, then... *sighs* he's so dreeeamy...Quote:

Clearly as a member of the Labour party I am concerned with Cameron taking over, in fact the Tories might actually be ahead in the polls at Christmas for a change - about time. But there is so much hype and he has a lot to do, the Tories are no way near close enough to forming the next govt, young people still hate them, inner cities don't forget the problems Tories caused them in the 80's not to mention the Labour improvements, etc. Plus I have a sneaking suspision Brown will introduce some brand new, fresh and interesting policies when he becomes leader, no way we are loosing the next election and by then Cameron will be axed, like every failed Tory leader before him has been, it is the Tory way.
9 more years of Red rule. ~:cheers:
Would that "fresh, brand new and interesting policies" be going back to Old Labour?
No its another new Tax, to allow the yob culture more power to avoid full time work. A few more civil servants/ council workers ~:cheers:Quote:

I thought it was very funny.
Yes but only until they reach 60 years old the poor dears....whilst the rest of us have to work another 2 extra years to keep them in the style of living in which I would like to become accustomed.....Quote:

Besides, the only reason Labour are in power now, is the voting system, in a vote for vote count Tories beat them hands down. They won on a technicality at best.
And considering your democratic tendencies, Im surprised you favour such a suck ass voting system... ~:)
Im not saying Im a tory supporter by any stretch but if one thing is for certain, labour have had their chance and all they have brought are new problems and new costs.
I am also sure whoever is in power next will continue to blame the previous government as a reason for their failures. labour have done that for god knows how long and its getting old...
Just had to get this one in:

:ahh:
Yeah! Boris gets a job. How long do you think it will be before he gets fired? Ladies and gentemen, place your bets.
http://garymonro.blogsome.com/images/BorisJohnson.jpg
Damn, you beat me to it.
He has is own website:
http://www.boris-johnson.com/index.html
His full name is:
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson
And he was born in New York
He actually got his name wrong on Have I Got News For You. When asked for his full name, he replied Boris Johnson, when of course it is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Where he got 'de Pfeffel' from is anyone's guess. Curoiusly enough, he is the great-grandson of the last interior minister of the Imperial Turkish government. I believe his great-grandfather was nailed to a tree, but I may be wrong.Quote:
