One of my favourite programs. Wonderfully mocking of our politcal system. I just hope we sort this brexit crap out in a sensible way.

I'm not sure why it is exactly but something about Rory Stewart's campaign so far make me think he could do well
Currently at 22.0

Apparently... he tells the truth too much to be a main candidate... :shock:

This Tory leader market is superb. The are some very nice moves, however it appears much of it is a pure following of money exercise.......who cares if you're on the right side!!

Stewart seems like a Theresa 2.0 - surely (hopefully) the Tories have learnt their lesson

Think Hunt is a closer match...

Go Rory Go!

Rory Stewart hasn't got a prayer imho. It's his high profile campaign (the mainstream media like him) that's keeping his price down.

He used to be a member of the Labour party (I'm still not sure why he switched sides judging by his views) and the membership would be very unlikely to back him.

Also, he looks like a 6th form schoolboy on crystal meth.

He did take Opium 15 years ago, mind you it sounds as if they've all had some form of Class A drug....maybe it's a prerequisite nowadays for all the MP's?!...

Heck, that 22.00 could be value after all....

Pretty sure Boris will walk it this time around. If not Hunt is the only other realistic candidate IMO. I think Boris is too good value at the 1.77 I backed him at.

To be honest I'd imagine you'd be hard pushed to find any of them that hadn't taken drugs, unless they've lived some church going life on some Amish community in their youth, they'll have come across and been offered drugs especially in the circles they frequent.

This never tory voter might vote for a Rory Stewart led party, has moral character.

To steal a biblical line, let he in the media who has never committed a crime/taken a drug ask the question … doubt there would be many questions ask!
