"Most of the county is watching this undignified contest with the same detachment that they might view a struggle for power in Indonesia. If the system for selecting this Tory leader goes down in history as Mr Willam Hague's bequest to Conservatism, next time round they might do better to recruit an Indonesian to run the whole thing. It would be over sooner, with less embarassment for everybody."

The Evening Standard is what aspiring middle class Lonon commuters read on their journey home. Note the racism, and the implication that the Conservative party could not even run a banana republic at the moment.
