To cut through a bone, the candidates and possible candidates of 2005 spring sharply in my mind as Hipster.
-
David Davis. I think Daltonia did or is doing something with him.
-
Liam Fox.
-
Ken Clarke (Though he is borderline; he's one of those names that springs up, but no one actually does anything with him).
-
Alan Duncan.
-
Tim Yeo.
-
Malcom Rifkind (He
was running until he dropped out in favour of Ken).
-
Edward Leigh (Cornerstone were expected to back him, but instead went for Fox).
-
Theresa May (again, borderline. When I used her in
Großbritannien, she was pretty Hipster, but then she went and actually became the fucking Prime Minister).
-
George Osborne (became hipster quite recently, actually).
-
Andrew Lansley.
-
Oliver Letwin.
-
David Willetts.
