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.
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.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

I'd be extremely surprised. The anti-Europe, right-wing Fox is highly unlikely to pull support from the Clarke crowd.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

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.

So the next election will be a choice between Tory Blairists and Labour Blairists?Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

So in a few weeks, the Tories will vote on who to make their new leader, Cameron or Davies.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
