      We should probably have a Tory to stop them whinging. Can't stand Widdy though. She converted to RC because she didn't like the C of E giving women equal ops. Despite being well-known to be anti-foxhunting she isn't keen to stand up for that if it might embarras the party.
      Incidentally, I disgagree with her on both counts.

        Who's 'winging'? Would that be the electorate, or just the evil Tories?

        No. We should have someone of integrity, experience and gravitas.

        Unfortunately that rules out all of the candidates running, with Beckett and Bercow being the worst.

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          Frank Field would have made the best candidate IMO as he is obviously a man of principle and has stood up to his own party in the past at the expense of his own promotion. If only Labour had adopted his welfare reform ideas, we would not be losing 500 Billion pounds a day.

            Like Widdecombe too but would she be impartial on issues like abortion, genetic research etc?

              It's John Bercow then. He'll be a fine speaker. Reminds me of myself.

                Bercow will be ineffectual.

                The Tories hate him with a passion; Labour believe that they've got him in their pockets.

                Come the revolution ...

                      He is a Labourite dressed as a Tory. Memories of Bliar.
