Throwing my hat into the ring
-
British and Anglophile CPians will have been watching with keen intent (and a certain amount of amusement) over the contest to become the new leader of the Conservative Party. Given the various failings of many of the candidates (the reasons being too old, too old, too old, too old, too old and Ken Clarke, younger but looks like a smarmy wanker, and too old), it seems obvious that the only sensible and appropriate solution is to choose me as Conservative Party leader. Here I shall outline why I should be the Conservative Party leader: * One of the four people in the UK who voted for the Conservatives in the 1997 General Election on the grounds "I really didn't trust those Labour bastards" - an opinion subsequently proved to be entirely correct. * Understand the importance to the country of small business, local communities, and not annoying everyone by being intrusive and nosing into things that aren't my concern. * Has few or no potential conflicts of interest - and is therefore unilkely to get caught up in "sleaze". * Isn't currently an MP, thus increases my political credibility considerably. * Isn't as boring as watching paint dry. * Will guide the Party towards protecting our civil liberties, reducing bureaucracy, and promoting the consumption of tea and toasted tea-cakes to the youth of today as the solution to anti-social behaviour. Vote Ian Darling for leader of the Conservative Party!

Anyone demonstrating a desire to become a politician, leader of a political party or organisation, or in fact wishing in any way to actually BE involved in the British political process should automatically be excluded from being so involved on grounds of; i) Mental Instability ii) Being a liar iii) Megalomania ...as lets face it, no sane, genuinely honest or reasonable person would actually want to get involved with it. :-) :-) :-) Rhys A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk I have a workstation... Vampireware /n/, a project, capable of sucking the lifeblood out of anyone unfortunate enough to be assigned to it, which never actually sees the light of day, but nonetheless refuses to die.

Will the tea and toasted tea cakes be free to all or will they be means tested? pseudonym67 My Articles[^] "So keep that smile on your face. Have a drink to help you sleep at night. They got what they desired. We're passive in their brave new world." New Model Army

As there's no such thing as a free tea cakes, cakes will not be free. However, a certain amount of subsidy should be provided to local communities to provide the tea and toasted-tea-cake facilities deemed necessary in areas that _currant_ly lack them. I also expect that companies marketing to the youth of today will provide deals such as a voucher for tea-cakes with every £5 spent on mobile phone top-ups.
