Am I right in thinking it went Hague, IDS and then Howard prior to Cameron?
I can’t remember if any of those 3 were considered ‘serious’ offers to the voting public. Obviously we can rule out IDS as serious, but the other two?
I suppose in the face of Blair and new labour they were futile gestures, especially at the end of 18 yes 18 years of conservative horror. There was no way the electorate was going back to that.
