But you can work some of it out for yourself, Houndtang. <BR/><BR/>For a start, he made clear Cameron would have been Deputy Leader, although not which policy portfolio he would have held. I think we can fairly accurately surmise that Willetts would have been shadow chancellor, as that would have been an appropriate reward for his (rather unexpected) support. By the same token Fox, who didn't support DD, would still have been demoted from foreign affairs, leaving that job free for Hague. I think Fox, as a good right-winger, might however have ended up with home affairs, which is ironically a more senior job than the one Cameron has given him!<BR/><BR/>The big unknown is what he would have done with Maude. I can't really imagine it was true that he planned to make Mitchell party chairman - although that rumour gained enough currency to frighten at least one Tory PPC up my way into voting for DC. But I can't quite believe he would have kept Maude on either.Paul Linfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977920120772282561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1140010920136483482006-02-15T13:42:00.000+00:002006-02-15T13:42:00.000+00:00Thanks for reminding me why I voted for DC!Thanks for reminding me why I voted for DC!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1140009921672783862006-02-15T13:25:00.000+00:002006-02-15T13:25:00.000+00:00Get rid of Francis Maude... quick!Get rid of Francis Maude... quick!Chris Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270498803593841764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1140007437508146712006-02-15T12:43:00.000+00:002006-02-15T12:43:00.000+00:00In your dreams Iain....In your dreams Iain....Guido Fawkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091277669318213298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1140006268676790982006-02-15T12:24:00.001+00:002006-02-15T12:24:00.001+00:00houndtang, I don't think it's appropriate for me t...houndtang, I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment on that on here, beyond saying that William Hague would have been in a top job.Iain Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270146219458384372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1140006250882358832006-02-15T12:24:00.000+00:002006-02-15T12:24:00.000+00:00Seriously Iain, had DD won, who did he plan to app...Seriously Iain, had DD won, who did he plan to appoint to the frontbench?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1140004076099556912006-02-15T11:47:00.000+00:002006-02-15T11:47:00.000+00:00How about compulsory lack of identity cards?How about compulsory lack of identity cards?stalin's granhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152454150416060673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1140002864420341572006-02-15T11:27:00.000+00:002006-02-15T11:27:00.000+00:00Announce a new policy of six months' compulsory pa...Announce a new policy of six months' compulsory paternity leave perhaps.....Paul Linfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977920120772282561noreply@blogger.com
