So what if Howard does walk all over Tony Blair in Parliamentary Question Time? That doesn't really matter a sausage.
What matters is that he's likely to give a lot of people nightmares that could push them into going out and voting to stop him. With luck, particularly in his own constituency, where he's got a vulnerable majority - if Labour voters had voted tactically last time he'd have been out. This time, with a lot of Labour voters feeling generally pretty pissed off with the Government anyway, the chances of Howard going down under the Lib Dem should be a lot stronger.
