Your favourite Tory

Gyles Brandreth, rather. Sorry Gyles.

Portillo for "Is This The Way To Election Day"

I have spent many a long hour in Portillo's old room at university, so he it is.

No matthew Parris?

PEDERASTY?!??!??

nah-ah, a couple of my friends lived there last year. there was certainly pederasty in portillo's day, though; it's where he lost his cherry/achieved p*****e

I totally messed up the closing date.

Well mark s was telling me on Sat'day that Ken Clarke is an Ornette Coleman fan, so Fat Ken it must be then

you did, didn't you

I predict a surprisingly high Johnson vote, and a subsequent witch hunt, particularly if he's become mayor in the intervening 11 months and 3 weeks

heseltine for his unconvincing hair

You left out Leonard Rossiter. An Everton fan, a genius comic performer PLUS he's dead so he can no longer vote. The perfect Tory.

Is Gary Numan an MP?

are 'friends' electric?

There were a couple I left out. Apologies.

Ronnie Barker

Brian Ferry and his waker of a son.

Ha ha, nice misspelling!

Not wanting to suggest that Brian Ferry is not himself a wanker.

ILX poster (deleted to save flame war)

ever the diplomat, dom passantino.

i too love the Huqster

i don't know if she's tory. the point is it doesn't matter.

I always thought Chris Patten seemed like a fairly reasonable cove - so what on earth was he doing serving so long in a Thatcher govt? It does seem to disqualify you from basic human decency.

No Ian Curtis?

No Mark E. Smith?

Where's the proof Mark E Smith is a Tory?

PAY YOUR RATES!!!

Tories hated the rates tho!

age of the professional politician. i doubt many of the young tory front bench today would really have a problem with serving under a labour PM, but it's a matter of clans and positioning.

PurgaTory?

(nevermind)

Mark E Smith hates socialism doesn't he? That probably makes him a Tory. (xposts)

I think it makes him Labour!

When I was younger, my dad said David Owen would probably join the Tories eventually. Now Owen's making noises about returning to the Labour Party. Shows how things have changed.

He just likes annoying people

... that's Mark E. Smith I mean, not David Owen... MES does it deliberately, David Owen annoys people just by being

Chris Patten = Poll Tax yes?

A compendium of ilxors calling other ilxors Tories would be a fine old read. Maybe someone with nothing to do could start it?

MES hates socialism because he went to Bulgaria in the 80s and everyone was wearing the same brown trousers.

... as him?

Fuck them all.

John Bercow.

Peter Bottomley was (probably still is) a genuinely nice guy.

i sawa philip hammond - shadow chief secretary of the treasury - on newsnight last night and he has a great way of talking - it seems as though he's about to laugh at every word that comes out of his mouth. but he actually sounded pretty sensible!

You see this is how they win elections...first you think they're nice guys, then you think they sound pretty sensible, next thing you know they've got over the desk and you're taking it like a dog. And you're loving it. And saying thank you, can I have four more years...

I had dinner with Peter Bottomley once, he was a wanker.

But not a waker?

That must have really spoiled the meat course.

Ed - Impression based on him stopping to help change a car-tyre in poor weather. Political views not discussed!

I pwned Theresa May for being basically 'I'm all right, Jill' re. women in the workplace when we were both on this panel discussion once. Good times.

WAHT no Widdicombe?

Every time someone votes in this poll, a bit of John Major dies inside.

Konnie Huq got in trouble recently for being enthusiastically pro-Ken in some public appearance or something, so I doubt she's a Tory.

o rly? still hot as.

Mark E. Smith openly declared that he voted Tory in the 1983 General Election.

I thought this was quite well known.

Obviously not

still hot as.

damn i thought kenlove would be a real stumbling block for you so i arranged that PA myself.

Oh hang on - Billy Mackenzie. Also dead.

xpost.

Did you know MES supported the Falklands War as well? Just like Jim Davidson....

Jim Davidson was the only other person in Britain to support the Falklands War?

Well, I was broadly in favour.

So that's at least 3.

Jim Davidson took Goose green single-handed.

While Mark E. Smith was back at home complaining about Ted Rogers.

It's called getting your priorities right

DUSTY BIN 4 MAYOR

But Ted was a Tory too...

It's a weird and frightening world......

Ken Clarke also saw Sun Ra play live, which is more than I can claim

just googled konnie huq.

thx!

This is basically half of marcello's shtick?

I like Oliver Letwin. Not sure why.

In summary, politics makes fools of us all.

Where's the option for "A Dead One"?

oliver letwin? if only all tories were so obviously totally fucking disgusting

Where's the all torys are cunts option?

look down

I'm amazed that "Tony Blair" was omitted as an option. He's normally a cert for this kind of poll.

Satire obviously IS dead.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

It had to be.

Why wasn't Tony Blair in this?

i thought that gary numan wasn't a tory any more?!?

Where is Chris Rea band?

And Monty Panesar?

Not to mention Steven Berkoff and TV's Theo Paphitis.

Why wasn't Tony Blair in this?

amirite

Those were the days.
