Who should take tony's job?

well that's not exactly true is it now!

remember neil hamilton, jeffrey archer, and jonathan aitken???

This is precisely what they need though.

They've already had IDS, Hague and Howard - all of them, particularly Hague I always thought, are intelligent, moderately charismatic and have argued well and come up with some decent policies - we've even seen Labour adopt a few of them.

They've been fighting on Europe, the pound, immigration, law and order blah de blah and hit a brick wall at every single election.

If they want power, they needed to find someone different - and they have in Cameron.

He's done a good job of rebranding the party (even if a few of his stunts, like flying off to see that glacier, have grated a little).

If he can get some serious policies together - he's got to be in with a shout. I'd welcome more on climate change, I want to see more emphasis on science and maths teaching, I want to see things made easier for business to invest in Britain - but I don't want cuts in things like the NHS.

In short, I like what he's done so far, and he's pretty likeable himself - this is going to help with the popular vote that Blair captured so well. They desperately need to pull some good, alternative policies out of the bag as well at some point to capture the vote of people who vote on that basis - ie me (I like to think).

I believe it comes down to governmental structures, the control and advanced nature of Chinese infrastructure allows it to grow at a phenomenal rate... While India is progressing it is not able to compete on the same level as china and wouldn't be able to without radical reforms.

archer: perjury, insider trading, prostition, theft and fraud
hamilton: sleaze and corruption
aitken: perjury and illegal arms dealings

not quite in the same league!

your post reeks of "anything but labour"..... do protest votes really belong in British politics?

Votes should be placed on candidates that possess the ability to run our country.

like joe said, whatever they did was nothing in comparison... Aitken even got his daughter to lie in court to cover his sorry ass, what a cunt!!

I've already said I'll be voting on the basis of policies when announced, and that I could vote for any of the big 3 parties.

Cameron is potentially a credible leader though.

cameron is a coke snorting twat with no policies who rides to the commons on a bike to pretend he is green but has his assistant send his briefcase on in a big polluting car

BROWN now, whip camerons ass and then milliband in the future

not john reid, no party ever won with a slap head

kinnoch
hague
duncan smith

see a bald pattern emerging

Cameron's said he's going to wait until closer to the election to announce policies.

Ironic that so many have dismissed him without hearing his policies, on the basis that he is 'shallow'.

belter , i would vote for the guy who used to play reg holdsworth in corrie or alternatively the guy who plays frank in shameless

"skaaaaaaaaa"
