[nilesfunnies] Fwd: Clarke kicked out


http://liberalengland.blogspot.com/2005/10/clarke-kicked-out.html

The results from the first round of the MPs' ballot for the Tory leadership:

David Davis 62
David Cameron 56
Liam Fox 42
Kenneth Clarke 38

I am reminded of the exchange from /Bremner, Bird & Fortune/:

*Interviewer:* Kenneth Clarke is the most popular Conservative.
*George Parr [Tory] MP:* Yes, but only with the electorate.
