Good question and it's one I don't know the answer to. It's clear that the tories aren't up to the job, it doesn't look like the 'opposition' or much anyone else is up to it either. I don't think I'll be voting for anyone for the foreseeable future.

Can’t disagree with much of that Mark. Quite frankly whom in their right mind would want to take on the job with the level of media intrusion and scrutiny it entails.

I think scrutiny is quite an important thing though, people should, in my mind, be held accountable for their actions especially when they're supposed to be working for us.

As for media intrusion, I suppose it depends on who the 'media' company is and whether or not things they are reporting are in the public interest. I couldn't give two hoots which MP is banging who, what, why, or where, I do genuinely feel though that MPs' half-truths and incompetence should reported on. I wouldn't employ an incompetent liar in my business, but then again, I didn't get where I am today.

Really? Maybe don’t be a lying hypocrite, conduct yourself with a modicum of decency and you’ll be ok, too much to ask for Boris it seemed.

There is genuine scrutiny based upon performance and then there is what we see nowadays ie saturation media attacks and intrusion into every aspect of an individual’s private life as and when they deem it suitable, it benefits no one the level to which MSM has dropped or the tactics they use.

Yeah really Mick if I said shit you’d say sugar, lying hypocrite???? Which PM is that you are referring too ?? They all can easily be tarred with that brush as far as I can remember. My point was aimed at the role itself not at  any particular previous PM.
