IDS - "Careful not to Choose Someone Electable"
The Tories must take care not to cut out the aging party members that elected the unelectable Iain Duncan Smith to party leader in 2001 says the unelectable former Conservative leader Ian Duncan Smith.
IDS: not dead
Duncan Smith, unelectable, was elected by the mainly senile Cliff Richard fans following the defeat of William Hague in the 2001 elections, and was considered so unelectable that he himself was surprised to be elected.
He was overthrown shortly after when the Tory MPs realised that they could never get in power lead by some bloke that only eight people in Oxfordshire have heard of, all of which would probably be dead before the election. The parliamentary party promptly elected Michael Howard, who proved unelectable.
Current rumours from inside CCO are that the party is planning to elect someone electable as leader. Noel Edmonds was unavailable for comment.

I, for one, will believe it when I see it. A very famous man once said 'Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe'. He said this after he was dead, which will be a state familiar to more than half of the Conservative Party's supporters, and soon, to MArgaret Thatcher.
