Another lie? Who'd have thunk?
Got to be number 10, surely?Leamington supporters club to retire a seat on their bus in his honour, (members to be balloted on exactly which seat).

This is politics - the likes of Brown and May would I suppose fit the criteria - they were not exactly very electable
Charisma is wildly overrated in politics.
Not sure I trust him with a mop either.Raab as caretaker till October
He'd fit right in with the corruption.Big Sam in until the end of the season?
Not amongst voters - couple of people phoning in on the radio phone in crying he is going and they are people who said they had never voted Tory before. Charisma at the top always works since Thatcher employed Saatchi - other than Kinnock vs Major - that Sheffield (?) rally scared people off him I think

I’d say only two of our prime ministers since the 80s could be said to have much charisma at all. Let’s not even get into the current leaders of Germany, Italy etc. Mastery of internal party politics seems to be the defining characteristic for a wannabe PM.
The problem Brown faced was that after Blair, his USP was that he was a serious, intellectual, conviction politician. For whatever reason he let the PR people try and portray him as Blair-lite, which just made him look ridiculous.Not amongst voters - couple of people phoning in on the radio phone in crying he is going and they are people who said they had never voted Tory before.

It's amazing that we have to set such a low bar.You know what, I just want someone honest and non-delusional.
Absolutely. I hope the fiasco of Johnson 's term as PM will make people understand this, but I fear not.Charisma is wildly overrated in politics.
It works in terms of getting into power but does untold harm to the country.Not amongst voters - couple of people phoning in on the radio phone in crying he is going and they are people who said they had never voted Tory before.
