It doesn't mean to me that all Tories are all equally as repugnant. Although I could never agree with their politics, there have been a few senior Tories I regard with great respect. People like Dominic Grieve, David Gauke, Anna Soubry and Justine Greening are of that Ilk. However, sadly the present day leadership candidates represent a grotesque clutch of the worst Tory traits.
I'm sure you won't agree but in any case it's struck me as highly unlikely anyone is going to change their belief system from a conversion on a football message board whatever happens.
