Despite being good at losing elections for the Tories, Duncan-Smith is someone I'd love to see on a dartboard, along with Osborne and Lansley. He has long been waging a fanatical war against poor, sick and disabled people - but that might just appeal to traditional Tory voters. The attack on pensioners won't.

I still can't get over the fact that he once co-authored an article with Santorum!
