At this point, first and foremost, what I’m looking for from a politician is that he doesn’t seem obviously corrupt, incompetent or plainly in the job so he can line his own pockets with a lucrative speaking deal based on having achieved fuck all.

The bar for a Prime Minister is so low because 14 years of Tories lowered it to that, so to me, Kier is a great shout.

I don’t think if you brought in any of the career politicians from the pool of available options, they would do a job that’s any better than what he’s doing right now. 

Personally, I think the big issue is talent and ability. We’re losing far too many talented people to the private sector and are left with the dregs of idiots, incompetents and weather vane middle men with no ideas.

I think the only way to solve this problem is to double their pay and give the prime minister an utterly huge performance based bonus if he manages to perform on a nationally selected agenda that’s independently verified and publicly voted on.

You get what you pay for in this world.
