    While the Tories were in opposition they ditched 4 actual leaders, and in the process they voted down every credible rival candidate. Eric Pickles and Nadine Dorries are about the only ones left untainted.

    So true.... we'll have to look a bit further down the ranks! Who they've got coming up etc that's young, fresh and ambitious. (Oh, and there's always Boris, but he's very unpopular up North!)

    It would have to be Dorries, Pickles just comes across as an arrogant bully.

    Interesting ho w Dorries name keeps popping up, even in jest, her outspoken ways at least get her noticed. Name me 20 other Tory backbenchers.

    OK 5?
