Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLBoris Johnson is clearly the most popular Tory in the country right now, and looks to remain that way.
If he were to be leader of the Conservative Party come the next general election (currently scheduled for May 2015) would you vote Tory? -

Re: Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLFor me, Boris Johnson is a clear winner.
Charismatic and passionate, his energy and dynamism would shake up the party.
Ed Miliband would have no chance against the force of nature that is BoJo. -

Re: Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLI don't know whether to feel proud or ashamed of myself for saying that, despite holding left wing views, I'd vote for Boris just to see him turn up to G8 summits and insult everyone there.
Also, the hair. It's like candyfloss

Re: Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLWell... are you actually able to tell me reasons why you don't like him? Policies of his? Aspects of him personally?(Original post by M4LLY)
Put it this way, the only thing i like about him was the fact that he got egged in 2010's elections
I don't understand that people dislike people but are unable to give reasons why - it seems the same sort of attitude that people that are racist or homophobic have - disliking someone simply for the sake of it seems rather odd. -

Re: Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLWhat i don't like about him is that he claims to have an understanding of how everyone lives their life when he (like most politicians) is in fact on a planet of his own where his ideas are far removed from those which would make a difference.(Original post by Aspiringlawstudent)

Re: Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLHow so? I assume you aren't referring to his background, because you say Boris is 'a lot better' although the two attended the same school and university.(Original post by M4LLY)

Why is David Cameron in particular any more removed from the lives of the working class than any other politician in the Westminster bubble?
Is it an inherently bad thing? -

Re: Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLHe's a more plausible choice for PM after Brian Blessed. Yes, I think all future elections should be based on whether the leader of the party has been on Have I Got News For You.

Re: Would you vote Tory in the 2015 general election if Boris would be PM? POLLI've never seen Cameron show off about his background, that would be suicide, I've never even seen him mention it actually, I think, after reading other posts, you are attacking Cameron at an pre-decided ideological level, and are somewhat influence by the many soundbites of labour populists. Get to the facts or sources, don't make it up!(Original post by M4LLY)

I only recall Cameron speaking about his background when being attacked by Labour over it.
I've never heard Cameron make an ad hominem argument against an opponent, however.
