    Didn't a Tory and a Labour person have a punch up today? Sounds like fun

      david cameron should of said something like 'i used to spend sunday mornings smoking crack through engine pipes and watching the hollyoaks omnibus', that would of been worth seeing

      i read somewhere that quite a few senior tories used to blaze it up

        To be perfectly honest, I would be more likely to vote for Cameron if he did smoke Weed than if he didn't. At least it would show that he has had a life...

          Update-

          From the BBC.

          Ex-chancellor Ken Clarke has been knocked out of the race to become the next leader of the Conservative Party.
          The self-styled "big beast" came fourth in the poll of Tory MPs, gaining 38 of the 198 available votes.

          Of his rivals, David Davis came top with 62 votes, followed by David Cameron on 56 and Liam Fox on 42.

          The three remaining candidates go through to another vote by Tory MPs on Thursday. That will select the two who go to a ballot of all party members.
          Arsebiscuits. Bye-bye Ken. It would have been brilliant to see him win.

          Well, Cameron is rising fast. I'd be very surprised if he didn't get the lion's share of Clarke's support, as he's the sole liberal-leaning candidate left. That'll leave him in pole position after the next round, with Fox eliminated.

            What if it came down to Fox v. Cameron in the final round?

              I'd be extremely surprised. The anti-Europe, right-wing Fox is highly unlikely to pull support from the Clarke crowd.

                What are Cameron's policies? Is he the least evil Tory?
                Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                -Richard Dawkins

                    So the next election will be a choice between Tory Blairists and Labour Blairists?

                      Read Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton's contributions to Parliament, including speeches and questions, investigate their voting record, and get email alerts on their activity

                        No, it'll be Tory Blairists and Labour Brownists.

                          David Cameron - 90 votes

                          David Davies - 57 votes

                          The other guy - 51 votes.

                          ---

                          So in a few weeks, the Tories will vote on who to make their new leader, Cameron or Davies.

                          • Which is going to be Cameron by a landslide. I wonder why Davis doesn't just give up, guess he hopes the bubble bursts as fast as it has grown.
