Tory leader.

[Joe Black]

Boris gets my vote!

[Jabberwocky]

Scargill for leader - he is on fire.

I agree - wish the Boris man could do it - I'd vote for him. But the problem is the new Tory leader needs to be credible to the marginals.

They need someone that can aggressively cut through the bullsh1t spin on the economy, taxes, education, health, unemployment that liebour have churned out ad infinitum until the populace doesn't flinch anymore.

They need someone that sounds like a "man for the people" and not "some toff from university".

They need a man that is media-friendly.

They need a man that can publicly slaughter the opposition. Funnily enough, Howard was fantastic at that but the media never gave him the credit for it.

It comes down to Murdoch's support sadly. All of the above probably do not matter until Murdoch gives the go ahead.

And against the Campbell spin machine. It is a tough one. The only glimmer of hope is that the clown's economic baby dies a disasterous death in the next few years and the voters (and Murdoch) are looking for a lynching.

What's wrong with being a toff? It's actually refreshing when a public figure can speak properly.

Boris is a very smart man who has been a little too clever for his own good. I do not, for one second, buy into his duffer act. He was a King's Scholar at Eton and a Brackenbury scholar at Balliol!

[darmstadt]

You guys have nothing to worry about, it looks like we've got Maggie Merkel coming in!

[BlasterBates]

Cameron - toff ....but, who deep deep down is superficial.

[The Lone Gunman]

Boris would be great, but he has a credibility problem (deserved).

Could Portillo be persuaded back if offered the top job. I think so!

[wendigo100]

Cameron is too woolly for me, but I'd vote for anyone who will:

1. kick Blair and Brown out on their @rses

2. unravel all that New Labour red tape and tax legislation

[Hart-floot]

Its got to be Ken or Davies.

I dont think the Tory Toff, Cameron, will go down too well in all those marginal North Kent constituencies (about 8 or 9 there with majorities less than 1000) where the next election is going to be fought.

[voron]

I think they should put Boris up as a puppet.

I like Boris.
Tories missed a trick not making Alan Clark leader. Would have been a huge improvement on that characterless gimp Major. They repeated the same mistake in not making Portillo leader.

[The Lone Gunman]

I think they should put Boris up as a puppet.

[hyperD]

LOL!

Ken vs Brown - battle of the old adversaries.

Cameron is Ok but too many people will be put off by the pluminess of his voice.

Remember, we have a dumbed down TV dinners population, so spin, spin, spin, soundbite, soundbite, soundbite is all it takes to deceive the great unwashed.

[AtW]

Cameron is no match to Brown

[Bagpuss]

My vote - David Cameron (aka Tory Blair).

Ken Clarke - Old Europhile git.

Tony Blair is the best Tory leader. Vote Labour or Tory it's all the same
