Out, demons, out.
Now that the contrition-free buffoon is being removed from office, it's time to think of his replacement. The news programmes will be filled with it.
I assume that most of the other messy suspects won't stand. No Gove, no Rees-Mogg, for example. I generated my own short list, from the bookies' site, plus some vox pop and press and it shows a moment in time, but one that will no doubt change quickly.
My bad guessing goes right back to Pop Idol where I was able to consistently support the person who was zapped in the very same week.
Of course, with the Conservatives, inevitably it is a strange system. I'm reminded that there's only about 18k members in the formal Conservative Party and that the number of MPs is 358 comprising 270 men and 88 women.
It means the next leader is chosen from the 358 MPs first and then finally voted upon (as a choice between two) by the 18k party members. It's a kind of closed system sealed unit from which only a few drips escape.
Much is run by puppet masters who lurk in the shadows. I was at a partially political event during the week which featured various stock characters. There was dogma, loud polemic and microphone-hogging. A showcase of meeting technique over substance.
Oxford Union debating practices still prevail.
Out, demons, out.
