Bloodless Coup

The Tory Leadership Election

I'll probably discuss this topic a number of times this week since the four remaining candidates will be reduced to two by Thursday. Personally, I think that if the Conservatives want a leader who will take the party forward, maintain the support of the party's base and actually win national elections in the future, though should select David Cameron as their next leader. But given their recent preferences for in-fighting, looking backward and general dullness, it's no suprise that David Davis seems sure to be one of the last two standing. At this point though, the race is still too close to call.
