I really can not think of one..brown studied history at uni and yet he thinks he can run a country...amazing when you think about it..

I'm not making a comment on whether Brown runs the country in a competent way, but making an assertion that he isn't qualified because he has a History degree is ridiculous.

Would you prefer your leaders to have at least a 2:1 in Country Leadership Management Studies before we vote them in?

Country Leadership Management and Surf Studies from South Cornwall University (formerly Padstow Tech).

And your point is?

How many kids at school study to be the head of BP?

What qualifications do you need to be the Mayor of London?

What qualifications would you like them to have?
Do they have to sit a test?

I've heard the 'Suvriving Interviews with Paxman' module in that course is very popular at the moment. You take lectures in a wetsuit too.

Cameron has one of the best firsts in Economics (PPE) ever awarded at Oxford if you believe the media.

And Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G) has a double starred first in History from Cambridge... which are very rarely awarded. That said, he can't use the old "is it coz I iz black" as a reason for not becoming leader any more...

not really amazing that people can - by fair means or foul - reach the dizzy heights of national gov. without PPE 1st's.
in another life: thatcher, chemist, whose 1st job was to test cake fillings for lyons. callaghan, tax clerk. major, bus conductor.

oh, and prescott, cruiseliner steward (and by far the silliest !!!!!! to reach the cabinet if you ignore john selwyn gummer).

There are quite a lot of solicitors and barristers who practised in the House of Commons for example Alistair Darling is a Advocate who actually practised. Unfortunately I have no idea why he is Chancellor.

Is Ali D chancellor? He might make quite a good one if Broon gave him the job.
