Ken Clarke knocked out in first round?

THE Tory leadership race stepped up a gear last night amid speculation that Liam Fox has secured the backing of 15 Conservative MPs – enough to push Ken Clarke out of the contest at the first round. Dr Fox is believed to have cut a deal with 15 of the 25-strong Cornerstone Group of "faith, family and flag" right-wing Tory MPs.
The move would double his parliamentary party support and put the shadow foreign secretary neck-and-neck with David Cameron, who is currently in second place.

Brilliant news. Lets hope that he gets the support of all 25 of the cornerstone group and Ken Clarke gets knocked out in the first round. It would be a disaster for the whole country if Ken Clarke ever became leader of the conservatives and Liam Fox is the best option at this time.
