You don't need a particularly long memory to recall when Chris Alexander was touted as a star candidate for the Conservatives, a 'lucky catch' that they managed to nab before the Liberals did.

But once he started campaigning, and speaking in the House of Commons, that reputation took little more than a year to collapse. Alexander has spent the time since then on stunts and exhibitions like this, dynamiting the rubble of what's left just to make sure nobody ever thinks to themselves "Was I too quick or too harsh to judge Chris?"
