The Apollo Project on the Tory Leadership race:
Lou: "So here's your ballot paper... you've got four choices. Now, which one are you going to vote for?"
Andy: "That one!" [points to Fox's name]
L: "Liam Fox. Now are you sure?"
A: "Yeah."
L: "But you said his aggressive American-style conservatism would keep the party out of power for a generation. You said Ken Clarke was the man who could appeal to the public."
A: "Yeah I know."
L: "So who do you want to vote for?"
A: "That one!" [points to Fox again]
L: "All right then." [marks X against Fox. Wheels Andy out of the ballot box to a fourth general election defeat]
A: "I want Ken Clarke!"
