Saatchi probes leadership candidates

In a fascinating pamphlet published by the Centre for Policy Studies entitled "If this is Conservatism, I am a Conservative" Maurice Saatchi publishes a simple test to determine whether the next Conservative leader deserves your support. He challenges the reader to ask the candidate to describe:

• A noble purpose
• A fight against injustice
• A sense of direction
• A destination

He then urges the questioner to look into the candidates eyes to see if they really mean what they say.

I wonder how long it wil be before all the "runners and riders" are suddenly speaking about noble purposes, and fighting injustice.

All in all a good read.
