No, not got one of those either.
Are you a looney lefty, then, Ivader?0 -
Not enough options in your poll, but yes I do think he comes across a bit lightweight. Could turn out to be a scapegoat if the tories do bad...0

i voted love him. like jeremy kyle giddy is in my 'so bad it's good' camp. he is such a liability that as someone who really doesn't want the tories to get in i think we need to give him all the support he can get.:beer:Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0

No.
It is absolutely essential for the country that Cameron should keep himself, his current deputy chairman and his current shadow chancellor firmly in post....0 -
Oh yes... and there is actually another high ranking Tory who could give Osborne lessons in 'smarmy smiles'...0

very funny options
i dunno, i just kind of assume all tory men are smarmy/ in denial closet gay/ not on this planet, but neither of those types particularly offends, just kind of amuses- or perhaps ambivalent as lir says :cool:
david cameron.... i think is ok . no real opinion either way, he seems nice enough, but no 'spark' ... (sure he'll be relieved to hear that
)
its the women who let the torys down for me. they are pretty much all vile

Thanks sjay.
Your post made me lol too!0 -
I always wondered why Cameron gave him the shadow chancellor job.
However, on the politics show last week Nick Robinson made the point that, within Westminster, Osborne is highly regarded on both sides of the house.
Sadly, if he does indeed have hidden talents, they don't come across in his public persona.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -
Extraordinarily well hidden, certainly.0

He has a decidedly non-covert talent for choosing policies which would have wrecked the recovery.
In this he has the support of all his colleagues but with, I suspect, the weakest and least heartfelt bravos coming from the direction of the jazz and cigar smoke...0
