Portillo only looked good once he got off the front benches, I agree though. Put him in charge and I'll join the Conservative party, not just vote for them.

The thing with Ken Clarke was always going to be Europe, if he could have kept it lower on the agenda maybe he would have got away with it. Sadly it was not to be.

I had hoped Cameron was going to be better, a lot of fuss has been made over him being a "Toff" well at least he's not a working class man, i.e. a real Conservative Blair. His refusal to make too many promises did give me some hope as it meant he hadn't over compromised himself. Then the Darfur thing came to light and most of that hope died.

I'm holding out for Boris though.
