The only unavoidable bit is the middle class. I also doubt that either of the candidates will become t-shirt icons (Focus Fodder t-shirts excepted) I hope the new leader will not be like Che Guevara – a middle class murderer who inspired thousands to get themselves killed in some of the most pointless wastes of human life ever.

Almost everything else flows from this.

Labour or Tory? They don't like it up them y'know. If I were a cartoonist I would love to draw a "Che Clegg", although the name doesn't have the same ring to it. I was hoping you were going to suggest that he scrap all our right wing policies and put some nice sensible left wing policies in instead! Only kidding, before someone says something.
