Don't think any of the remaining 3 are capable of re-inventing the party.

I'm not. Old Ken has been usurped by David Cameron. Cameron is the first vaguely human figure that the Tories have found in the last three decades. :wave

Thought Ken Clarke was a bit too old...just seem to have cocked up the timing in appointing strong leaders. Hague may have been a success but was appointed leader too early and it all went mammaries up. For Clarke it was too late now I think

David Cameron is probably the best bet but his past may sadly catch up with him. However in this modern age, we have all done daft things in our youth so I for one am not bothered in the slightest

Ken was pretty much the only one who could appeal to non tory voters so i'm chuffed, keeps them in the shit that bit longer.

Cameron might be able to do a "Blair" in the future but he's not got a cat in hells of the next election

Shocking, they've voted against a conservative and gone with tories.

Yet again they've done whats best for themselves in the immediate future and fuck the country.

Enjoy another 8 years in the cold chaps.
When your Mum used to pick you up from school and you'd run out and be like 'Mummy I got 9/10 in the spelling test today', would she go 'phenomenal, son'.

Cos if she did she's a stupid fuck.

well there's always the future .... :-[

Ex-Street star aiming to become Tory MP
A former 'Coronation Street' actor has made it on to a list of candidates to become a Tory MP.

Adam Rickitt, a gay icon, is hoping to become a Member of the British Parliament at the next general election.

The 27-year -old, played Weatherfield's floppy-haired heart-breaker Nick Tilsley.

The young star became a gay icon, sharing the soap`s first gay kiss with Todd Grimshaw, played by co-star Bruno Langley.

He spent 15 months on the soap before leaving in 1999, but his bid for a career in pop music fell flat.

He returned to the Street in July 2002 for a short visit and reprised his role as Nick Tilsley to attend the wedding of his mother Gail Platt to new Street villain Richard Hillman.

Oh dear. Those two candidates are very uninspiring still.
