Politics - Tory Leadership + other stuff

Borders on Tuesday = [livejournal.com profile] topbit, [livejournal.com profile] lizblackdog, [livejournal.com profile] neonchameleon, [livejournal.com profile] midnightmelody, Vino with no LJ, [livejournal.com profile] hairyears and me. I think this was the quickest 'add to friends list and then meet' situation for Liz and me!

Cutting for non work safeness (yes, politics is non work safe for me and a couple of others) - it's probably fine for most of you

So nice simple question - who should I vote for and why?

I'm torn. I like what Cameron is saying (apart from the stuff about marriage. Why should marriage be seen as a better form of family arrangement than anything else?) and he's interesting. Davis on the other hand makes me want to sleep - he's boring, *but* I really like what he's saying about England only votes in the House. Decisions, decisions.

The obvious answer is Clarke, but you're not being offered him.

If you want power, you want to vote for whoever the Lib Dems will be prepared to do a deal with.

Davies - didn't run last time because he knew that although he could beat Howard, he couldn't beat Blair in 2005. His huge ego was probably a factor in that.

Cameron - could be Duncan Smith all over again for all we know.

What next: only London MPs voting on London issues?
