Wouldn’t the PCs be better off distancing themselves from the man who led them to such a crushing defeat?  Agreed that the current crop doesn’t measure up to Little Stevie – and that’s not exactly the highest bar in the world – but really, if you want to win an election, you’re going to have to find someone who is able to attract more than the core 30% who will vote Conservative even if the leader is Howdy Doody (or clinically dead).

If I were a party strategist I would be looking for someone who can appeal to traditional values but still have some draw for the centrists.  And that wouldn’t involve asking myself what Lego man would do.
