I thought he was known for always being pretty good at PMQs, but that doesn't really register with many voters..

Theres this bloke on BBC who does verdicts on the PMQs, he said for one joke I think it was Michael Howard that even Labour MPs were "Rolling in the aisles", you watched it and the Tory frontbench barely smiled.

Just thought I'd share that.

Do you think we should have him back as Oppositon Leader and give 'Dave' the old 'heave, ho'?

I think that was a bit of a cheap joke and yeah blair wiped the floor with him on every issue raised.

Blair summed it up well with:

"the jokes are good but the judgement not so".

yeah i agree, if the tories are using william hague as a frontman they are truly going backwards rather than forwards.

How did Blair wipe the floor with him on every other issue? Blair skirted round the questions asked and made the terrorism bill a party political issue. Just how was that wiping the floor. Yes he was excellent at dealing with Hague but he did not by any means answer any of Hague's questions with convincing answers.

Were you guys who thought Blair won whatching the same PMQs as me?

Granted, Blair probably just about won the war of rhetoric with regard to the exchange about the Incitement to Terrorism Bill simply by lying through his teeth about the effects of the Lord's amendment and so was able to bang on about that. However, Hague absolutely slaughtered him on the local assemblies questions. Overall I would give it to Hague, just consider how rattled Blair looked by the end compared to Hague's cool, calm and collected demeanour.

With regards to Hague and Dave's leadership credentials, then I must reluctantly admit that however much I might like Hague, it is Dave that is far more likely to win an election, and in politics that's the bottom line! That said, I am of the opinion that Hague will be Chancellor in Cameron's government and given his experience will probably hold the same power over economic policy that Brown currently wields... So watch this space.
