As some of you know,Michael Howard more or less fixed the 2005 Conservative Leadership race in favour of Cameron but Dave was not the first choice as the Stop Davis Candidate. After he said no to Howard asking him to be Shadow Chancellor (mostly due to being afraid of facing Brown in the Commons as he was not as experienced yet),Michael considered George Osborne to be his heir to be,even putting him in place of Letwin.
According to Gove and others though,George did not want to because that meant Dave could not get the top job and he did not want to ruin his friendship with him so he said no and Howard was forced to groom Dave.
But what if Cameron was unavailable? What if he remained outside of Parliament?
Not that hard to do,honestly-Witney,like almost every Tory seat in 1997,was narrowly kept so it is easy to turn it red and also have Dave not win a seat next election-especially if Prescott still punches that demented pro fox hunting protester who attacked him.
So-Osborne says yes. What then? How will things be changed? Will the press take note of his cocaine past or ignore it?
