Bully For Him?

Tony Blair lost all authority when he said that he would not seek a full third term, and he had ever even won a General Election.

Moreover, he had only one credible successor. That would not have been the case if Gordon Brown had not been there. But he was.

Cameron pointedly failed to include Michael Gove among his potential successors, but did mention a man who was not currently a Member of Parliament at all, and who did not last long or make much headway at his previous attempt at a parliamentary career.

Two of the three names in the frame belong to members of the Bullingdon Club. Including the one whose owner is not an MP.

The Conservative Party ought to hold an open primary. Possibly this year. If not, then certainly next year. Let the winner do a bit of shadowing.

Oh, what fun. Thank goodness that they are not going to be the Government.

What a complete and utter shambles.
