RORY APPEARS ON ‘POLITICAL THINKING’ WITH NICK ROBINSON | Rory Stewart

www.rorystewart.co.uk

He seems rather realistic, switched on and reasonable. Probably the 3 reasons he won`t get the job!

Very eloquent... definately not a hard line tory right winger.... spoke well on qt last week

Sadly in this pr n media driven world of politics stewarts appearance wont be helpful in his leadership/pm quest imo

 

[gofish2]

He sounds thoughtful and bright

 

[Whingit]

Not too bad for a Tory. Hopefully it isn't long until there are again people on both sides of the house that are decent, respectable people, who just happen to disagree with each other but can engage with the other side in thoughtful debate and are willing to compromise.

Indeed - he sounds like a reasonable and realistic bloke. But he won't win - the Tories will select someone with more 'media appeal' who will pander to the ERG (who really ought to have split and formed their own party years ago).
