Michael Howard (the new leader of the Conservative party) was the
most appallingly scary Home Secretary we'd had in recent
memory....until Labour got in and topped him with Jack Straw. They
then decided said Straw just didn't command enough bone melting
terror amongst the populace and replaced him with David
Blunkett.
So since Michael Howard is now remembered as only the third most
terrifying Home Secretary of recent times, the Tories might alas be
onto something here, 'History has proven he's cuddlier the Labour
brand, but still emobodying all the traits of absolute evil
necessary to lead the classic Tory party you know and hate. And you
people have _actually heard of him_ unlike our last three
leaders.
A Tory revival now seems a horrible possibility, to be weighed
against the other horrible possibilty of an eternal New-Labour one
party state, with Mr. Tony Blair going on and on and on and on
and...
...what Britain needs is a better class of undead leading its
political parties. Where are competent necromancers when you need
them most? Undoubtedly Harold MacMillan could have gotten us a
better class of insanely stupid and unjustified middle-east war
than the one Tony's landed us with. A real alternative leader of
the Tory party.
