From my own personal experiences through a long career in manufacturing I became acutely aware of Hagues Achiles heel early on. I attended many educational seminars on Health & Safety, these involved the showing of many instructional films meant to increase our awareness of the unnecessary risks we exposed employeees to and our presonal liability for such failure. A star of many of these educational films was none other than John Cleese, the dangers were illustrated as you can guess with humour, no matter that the end summing-up was most sombre. At the end of the evening as we relaxed with a drink or two, the crushed limbs , broken bones or lost lives failed to register as much as the humorous bits. This is why William Hague struggles to establish himself as a serious politician to this very day, some messages often have to be delivered without humour and if you are more identified with making people laugh than thinking seriously about where we are and where we want to go, you will forever struggle be taken seriously.

He came to the role too early. With Portillo losing his seat to Stephen Twigg, that meant that Williams time for action came early. Hague faced a resurgent Labour in their prime and hence was on a hiding to nothing as the Tories faced civil war and were not ready for Government. Had Portillo won his seat, then Hague admits he would have supported Portillo. That would have meant Portillo would have taken all the shit that Hague faced. I really believe had Hague had the chance to lead when Cameron came to the role, Hague would be leading an even stronger Party.Hague is a man that was born to be Prime Minister. He is still young. I hope he gets the chance for the sake of our country. Hague was a great leader for the Conservative Party. He came to the role too early.

I had been in the Cabinet and been leader of the party, so now I can branch out into other things... it is a very liberating feeling'. I love his quote:

He was standing in and had 3 minutes before kick off. I had to brief him on some incredibly complex Income Tax, VAT and employment statistics. As I had been handed the phone in haste, at the last minute it was in no way planned and the delivery by me was crap......He remembered every detail, figure and statistic.

Good night. I had a great catch up with Chris Chope. Now there is a guy with a free will and innovative thinking.I agree with you that Hague is a phenomenal asset to the Party and THE best public speaker. Sorry David Cameron but its a fact. I would not pay money to hear any other front bench person speak.Shame. Cameron talks about the de-toxification of the Conservatives brand but we must add to that the de-colouring of the Party I was there as well last night. Good night.
