andsome Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 It's a pity really, I get the impresion of a nice enough man. He just lacks the fire in his belly for major politics. I would trust him way above 'cheesy' and gordon'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edbanger Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 If they can't run their own party, how can they run the Country.300,000+ voted for IDS, just over 2 years ago. Will these faceless MP's change their minds in another 2 years time?.Who would want to be the Tory Party leader, when you know you will only get stabbed in the back.The Tories are in opposition, where they belong.

Guest Grim Reaper Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 300,000+ voted for IDS, just over 2 years ago. Will these faceless MP's change their minds in another 2 years time?.the 300,000 were the party members, not the slimy 25 who stab people in the back at regular intervals....i really hope that IDS wipes the floor with them........

Tankus Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Good quote from todays Independent .....Like virginity ,once lost ,authority cannot be regained .....!Does it matter who is in charge of the Tory's anymore ? , their glories are all in the past ...!Ironic that IDS was one of the ring leaders amoungst John Majors "bastards " and now he finds himself in exactly the same situation , that he helped create for Major ! Last leader of the minority party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edbanger Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 What has brought this about now, is the threat by 2 multi-millionaires, to withdraw their funding of the Tories if IDS is not removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Howard as a front runner ...........?The runners in the frameAs Andrew Rawnsley noted, he "combines the smarm of Cecil Parkinson with the charm of Norman Tebbit". Mr Howard's lack of warmth and charisma - and the comment by Ann Widdecombe, his one-time deputy at the Home Office, that he had "something of the night about him" - may make him fatally flawed as a prime ministerial candidate before the British voting public, but he is respected, even admired, within the parliamentary party and among grassroots Tories.
