Michael Howard is telling Conservatives to use 'ten words' on the doorstep to persuade people to vote Tory. Leaving aside the fact that he seems to have followed Blair in throwing the basic rules of English grammar out of the window (verbs are your friends, Michael!), I wonder if they're going to be told what to say when someone replies with one word:

How?

One extra thought - did Howard promise or pledge to win the next election (one would assume it's integral to the job, of course)? Because given his rhetoric that politicians who don't live up to their promises should lose their jobs, if he is saying he'll win it, then he's pretty much pledged to resign the day after the election if the Tories don't win. The next Tory leadership contest starts on May 6th next year, it seems.
