A telling line from his not-quite-a-resignation-yet speech.

""It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new prime minister."

Not the party or my party, but that party.

A party he no longer wants to be associated with?
Or a party he only associated himself with to suit his own ends?
I doubt it was a slip of the tongue.

He has also recently been obsessed with the 14million folk that "voted for him" as the reason to stay in the job. Er, if you look at all the ballot papers, you'll find the only one's with his name on them were in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency of the UK Parliament in Greater London created in 2010. Created or gerrymandered? Choose your own term.

It would be interesting to see how much of his actual 7,210 majority would stay intact and how many of the actual 25,351 er, faithful? would vote for him next time round. However, it's unlikely he'll stand again in my opinion.
