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!

(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"

You used "Oily", surely.

I score more points for "Oleaginous", mostly through being able to spell it.

I think.

You mean when he showed commendable dignity and grace in defeat?
