Great to see I’m not the only one who sees the genius of this mix.
THE TORIES PUT THE BOOT IN: It looks increasingly likely that the British Conservative Party is about to switch leaders. This is a good thing. Blair needs a real opposition and his domestic policies are reverting to the left’s mean: more taxes and more spending. But look at the reasons for the leader’s decline:
The Times says plans are under way for a “lightning contest” to replace Mr Duncan Smith and thus minimise the damage to the party, if, as expected, he fails to secure the 83 votes required to win this afternoon’s vote of confidence in him by Tory MPs. The paper’s Michael Gove identifies three major defects that sealed Mr Duncan Smith’s fate: his inability to manage his team, as evinced by his harsh treatment of now-rival David Davis; his poor communication skills, as revealed during lack-lustre performances at PMQs and party conference; and his poor judgment, displayed over issues such as his opposition to gay adoption.
Yep. Opposition to gay adoption has helped sink a conservative leader. There lies the future.
