I would be careful, mentioning bumbling buffoon and politicians in the same post!

Take a look around at the possible canditates on offer to replace him and suggest someone you think who may do a better job in the current climate.

I'd be interested to see any suggestions as to who is better equipped and morally directed to do so.

OK that ruffled a few feathers. Don't forget, though, that Labour did introduce it in the first place and said at the time it would be temporary; the Tories certainly would not have introduced a lower rate for the less well off.

I try to adopt the approach of not judging someone by their mistakes but on the way they adjust to ensure they are not repeated and the amends they make when possible.

Vince Cable, knocks the others into a cocked hat, a bloke who actually understands what he is talking about. He'll never get anywhere, of course...

Sir at the hands of not sounding disrespectful, Mr Johnson made it quite clear at the Olympic games with his hands in his pockets that he is most certainly down to earth like the rest of us, nothing false,no crap, just straight forward how it is..go go Boris

I don't trust the Lib Dems either though. They change their policies every year based on which way the wind is blowing.

One year they're very pro-Europe, now they're more euro-sceptic. One year they're in favour of a 50% tax on earners over £100,000, then they're not, now they are again...

I think you'll find that for Boris a good day is one in which he wakes up and actually knows which day it is.

Don't get me wrong he's one of the funniest politicians I have ever experienced however he's a politician not a comedian sadly
