They dont come much more pro-euro than Ken

I'm sure the EUSSR couldnt believe their luck (or was it ! ? conspiracy theorists) when he was "brought" back into government, sitting at the left hand of the PM.

Yes there was a 'fatal mistake' when Cameron brought back Ken Clarke
into goverment. Most Tories and most people want us to be tough on crime , and anti EU . Ken's soft on both.

He probaby won't even be leader of the Conservative Party then.

Cameron will put all his desires in a manifesto and hope we will vote for him
and his wish list. If we do he will be in power for another 5 years even if he fails to get a single concession.

Labour wont win the next election , the Tories will lose it.
