A Vote Of No Confidence? 6

I have no opportunity to vote either way in the Conservative’s vote of confidence in their leader, since I am not a Conservative MP. If I was given a vote it would be a difficult choice though. Would I vote to keep Iain Duncan Smith and doom the Tories to failure, or would I vote to get rid of him, thus plunging them into a long, drawn out leadership battle, and dooming them to failure? The questions is, which vote would be the most damaging?

As it is, I have no vote and I’ll have to leave it to the MPs to do the damage themselves.

    Well, it looks like it’s going to be Mr.Nightshade (according to Anne Withoutacomb) to take up the reins of the Tory party. Not that I really care anyway.

    Trevor MacDonald for prime minister!!

    With Des Lynam as deputy.

    Des Lynam? He’d probably defect to Labour half way through his term in office!

    Actually, I was assuming Trev and Des would be in the Labour party to start with.

    If either way dooms them then why don’t the just vote me in or something?

    When I’m Prime Minister there’ll be free watches for everyone.

    Oh well, no long drawn out leadership battle.

    At least having a strong opposition should stop Labour from getting complacent.
