Yeah, I was being somewhat supercilious with that line; I don't really think that all tories are prima facie EVIL. Some of them are just misguided ;)
That said, who am I to talk? I'm clearly a latent tory; my first translation of "H&H" was "Horse and Hound" :(
Interesting comments though - I'm fascinated to see how this pans out over the next few weeks. If, as has been suggested, the pubic actually support 42 days, will that damage his support base? Or will people admire his principled stand and vote for him anyway?
Hadn't though of the Parliament Act possibility; I forget Brown has - potentially - til 2010.
