As I don't have a paid account, I can't do polls with ticky boxes.
So, I'll just pose the question and ask you to post your reply:

Michael Portillo is:

A) A charisma-free, oily little git.
B) Charming, elegant, urbane and witty.

Place your votes now!

presumably anyone voting B is a prime candidate for first against the wall when the revolution comes?

So you're in the "A" camp, then?

that depends on which revolutionary side wins. i'm not keen on facing the death squads for the sake of either defending or persecuting mr portillo

(A). And one of the highlights of my life was driving 50 miles to vote for Stephen Twigg in 1997, then seeing the expression on the oleaginous git Portillo's face when he lost.

"Oleaginous"

That's exactly the word I used to describe him, too.

what does that mean then?
does it involve "oily" and "gin" cos i could see how they could be applied to him

Do I look like someone who knows who politicians are?

Is Portillo the one with the smile that I want to punch?

And I suppose you think your f-list provides a representative cross-section of humanity?

I think not.

I know it doesn't provide a cross section of humanity. There's at least one sub-human on there. *Stares*

Take a wild guess... of course for all that, he would have been more a threat than Hague as leader.

Ahhh, I remember that moment in '97 - it was almost as sweet as Rifkind losing his seat *smiles happily*

More a threat than Hague?

Portillo to Hague? Hyperion to a satyr! They are barely the same species.

Has it occurred to you that if Davy goes completely bald but retains his plum-cheeked cherubicness he will look a lot like Hague?

Much though I hate to agree with you, I'd have to say (A).

(You do realise that, were you a bouncy, *huggy*, giggly female, you'd have been bought at least 12 months of paid LJ time for your first sentence?)

The bracketed section of your comment is one of the great injustices of this world; even when I posted (albeit partly in jest) "Dammit! I really want a paid account! Someone get me one? *bats eyelids*" no one got me one *sniff*

That's sexism in the workplace, that is...

Eh. Nevermind. I care not. I'm too busy trying to catch up with US politics to worry about other countries right this minute.
