Tory approach wrong says research
The Conservative party is getting its leadership election wrong according to research published today by the Foundation of Adenews Research Thinktank to coincide with the end of the party's conference.
"The Tories think that if they keep changing leaders they will eventually be electable," said FART's political and organisational officer Dr Iydenk Emmapierocurtains. "Our research shows that they would do much better in the polls if the party changed its members."
Party activists have already reacted badly to the proposal, but at least one of its big financial backers is apparently in favour.
"We need members with ipods rather than handbags," said Mr Garg L Enspit the millionnaire proprietor of Man Mountain Megastores who last year donated £4.21 to the Conservatives. "It is imperative that we modernise and that includes getting rid of the ignorant, xenophobic, little-England twits who currently make up the majority of the party."
None of the leadership challengers would comment to Adenews on the idea, but one supporter of Kenneth Clarke admitted his candidate would find it much easier if the people voting in the election were Labour or Liberal Democrat party members.
