    I know it doesn't quite work like that in politics but here's wishing.

    Successful business people, Richard Branson, Peter Jones etc I think would make good grande fromages.
    Branson is a t**t

    We have already had the best PM ever Maggie T

          He signed the Maastricht Treaty, one of the most exciting events in European history since 1945. It just didn't get reported here.

          It is a very uplifting and inspiring document.

                  Best Prime Minister

                  Eamon de Valera. He knew how to put his country first and not get distracted by little things like world wars, or that he looked like the secret love child of Charles Hawtree and the verger off Dad's Army.

                    Sir Alec Douglas Home because he really did do very little. Best future choice of PM, Basil Brush.

                      Best Sir A D-H story

                      (not that there are many to choose from)

                      After his retirement from politics, an elderly lady engaged him in conversation on the Berwick train, telling him: “My husband and I think it was a great tragedy that you were never Prime Minister.”

                      “As a matter of fact I was,” replied Home, “but only for a very short time.”
