Cycleracer Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Bring back Maggie Thatcher at least she can't destroy our mines and steelworks, she's done that already. Maybe she can crush the Burger bars and leisure centres that employ our youngsters these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 David Davis already bowed out in favour of Howard, so you can remove him from your list. They are keen to select a new leader without any "in-fighting". PS. Next time let me know and I can add a poll to the other (first) thread - saves having 2 very similar ones.

Agent Smith Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I don't think it matters who they choose as leader, the policies will be the same. Namely, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. (ie they'll tax everyone the same, whether you're earning £5 an hour or £5000 an hour) and they'll call this fair. Eventual Privatisation of the health service. Eventual removal of the state pension. All public services to be run by business'. They'll tempt people by saying that they'll give us a bit of income tax back, while at the same time duty on fuel will go up, and there'll be cuts in funding to education, health, transport, social security etc Don't forget, this is why they got voted out a few years ago. Not just because of "poor" leadership. So, yes! Frankie Howard for tory leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time someone had ruled themself out only to have a change of heart at the right time. ps - It's not possible to remove options from a list.

Abdul Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 It could be Michael Howard, according to The Guardian. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/conservatives/story/0,9061,1073883,00.html Which one was he on Spitting Image? The one with a yogurt pot on his head? Or the snail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upholder Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hope it's Michael Howard, he would be a strong leader with vision and will unite the members and stop all the backstabbing that has ruined this once great party. (cough) He will also give New Labour another 5 years in power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 They might have short memories in the Tory Party but us out there in the real world, we remember everything We remember Michael Howard and Prison Chaos We remember Michael Howard and the Poll Tax We remember that interview with Jeremy Paxman We remember Ann Widdecombe saying he had something of the night about him! I hope it is "something of the GOODnight" - to the Tory Party forever Let them pick him, please let them pick him, please please let them pick the man the country hated when he was in office, and help keep them all out of it for a long long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
