Politicians should be boring, otherwise we end up with cult like personalities which can take years to recover from.
I’m a lawyer. You don’t want a zany, fun lawyer. You want a boring tedious one who can hump through four-feet stacks of documents every day, 14 hours a day, six days a week.
The branding issue arises that he’s not hammering home the fact he’s the grown up in the room. And God knows, the Anglosphere needs a lot of them ATM.
Madcap, erratic, unpredictable, fun gets you Boris Johnson.
We’re governing by how funny a leader is?
Bit cringey but yeah if that’s the worst we have to deal with a few shitty puns then I’ll take that.
Charisma and personality is a major factor in getting elected. Blair, Cameron and Johnson have all benefited from it.
We prefer our leaders not to be clowns
> So much so that much of the rest of PMQs was an unintelligible cacophony. A pitiful shambles for which the weak Speaker was responsible. Lindsay Hoyle makes a show of threatening MPs but never follows through. And the MPs walk all over him. Throw one out and you may get a functioning chamber.
Throw one out? Throw ’em all out and let’s start over.
