Quick Quiz Question

What do David Cameron, Ming Campbell and I have in common?

[prepares himself for an onslaught]

UPDATE:Some hilarious suggestions so far - some even true, but not the one I'm looking for.

UPDATE Thur 9am: Daily Referendum got closest. The answer is that David Cameron, Ming Campbell and I all go to the same dental practice. You really did come up with some hilarious answers though. And some highly insulting ones too!

Ming in the Liberal Democrats

Cameron is a 'liberal' conservative.

Iain is a 'liberal' in the yankee sense of being someone who doesn't blow a fuse when someone mentions 'gay marriage' or 'embryo research' and would consider living in San Francisco, if it wasn't for the threat of those pesky earthquakes..

Neither of them can take advantage of the failures of Labour.

The first question for the Conservatives is when will they get rid of Cameron.

The second is who will take his place and actually represent the conservatives amongst us.

As for Brown attracting those that voted for Thatcher, how risible.

Menzies Campbell was the loser in three seats. David Cameron was the loser in one seat and Iain Dale was the loser in one seat. You have all been defeated on the Election Battleground.

Alternatively, you all have Scottish ancestry.

Probably you have all been signed up for a re-run of a very old comedy sketch.

David Cameron (standing on a table) - I went to Eton. I am a descendant of William IV and Mrs Jordan. My father in law is a baronet. I am upper class. I look down on him. Looks at Sir Menzies Campbell.

Sir Menzies Campbell (standing on a soapbox) - I went to Glasgow University. I am a Queens Counsel (senior barrister). I married a Major-General's daughter. I am middle class. I look down on him. Looks at Iain Dale.

Iain Dale (slouched on Doughty Street sofa) - I am a blogger. I support "The Hammers". I love Margaret Thatcher. I am an "Essex Boy". I am working class. I look up to them (well, the upper class one at least).

Be sure that you all three update your wikipedia entries to reflect this startling relevation...

Did you know Iain that a Menzies Campbell - the only one with much going for him on eBay - was a Professor of Dentistry in Bonny Scotland? Edinburgh I believe. So it's not right about the vasectomy? The link to the eBay item has now gone, alas, but another copy is available here. Open wide.

That's weird, I would have thought that Ming's teeth would have all fallen out by his age?

David Cameron, Ming Campbell and I all go to the same dental practice.

I could just kick myself for not having thought of that.
