#26: t’s that time again

The Conservative party will soon chose if its next leader its fifth leader in eight years will be David Cameron or David Davis. Recent Drug allegations have added a certain spice to things, I’m just waiting for Cameron to use “The Bill Clinton patented Drug sleaze defence” and claim he “didn’t inhale”. Those of you who take an interest in politics may also remember “The Bill Clinton patented Sex sleaze defence” where he claimed he didn’t impale.

Anyway I digress. I was thinking about this John Major became leader in 1990 and the 1992 General Election victory that Conservatives have had since so that’s 5 Leaders over 15 years (one every 3 years) and one major triumph. The Conservatives are now fighting the liberals to avoid being the third party of British politics.

Margaret Thatcher love her or hate her (personally hate) was leader from 1979 to 1990 and won 3 General elections

Nottingham Forest have had 8 managers since 1993 and been relegated twice winning nothing more than a fiver on the scratchies!

Brian Clough Was manager of Nottingham Forest from 1975 to 1993 during which time he won 2 European Championships, the English Championship, The European Super Cup, and 2 League Cups.

The Lesson is simple stop having leadership elections and reincarnate Brian Clough, I'd vote for him!
