I find the analogy to Usain Bolt difficult to follow, but that surely is a separate criticism. I would certainly agree with Matthew that the quality of the debate has generally been disappointing. I think that people can get carried away with searching for hypocrisy. Cameron didn't choose the voting system for Tory leader - it would have been extremely quixotic for him to refuse to take up the post on the basis that he thought he would have lost under his preferred system.
