As cruel and unfortunate as it often is the piss-taking of politicians as odd etc is usually only reflecting the general public mood.
If it didn't have a ring of truth to it it wouldn't resonate.
Politicians like Thatcher and Blair had their act nailed down and played it perfectly.
Others didn't and the personal criticism comes to both sides ..... ie
Kinnock .... ginger windbag
Hague .... down with the kids in his baseball cap and drinking 14 pints on his pub rounds. 'Karate' with Seb Coe before back off to his 'wife'
Brown .... angry bullying and probably mentally ill
IDS ... the 'quiet man' ... Pardon? Insipid to the point of invisibility
etc etc

Immage has always been essential in all walks of life. Immage on its own is of course hollow.

It was a Pea-coat Far Cough, probably fashioned from the finished Melton Wool, very stylish and cool for a walk in the forest or a Sunday lunchtime session in the pub, not the Cenotaph though.
A dark coloured Covert or King Coat is more appropriate.
Anyway, everyone is arguing which of two colossal cunts is the bigger cunt. Don't think for one fucking moment either are anything else.
I bet they both wear the right coat on Sunday though

Yes, Debs son, but piss taking of politicians for the way they look and sound has been around since Spitting Image, so it's not like it's some new phenomenon.
The only one who was ever elected on the basis of being 'cool', thereby turning elections into an X Factor style opoularity contest, is Blair. And I didn't imagine any of the people whinging about the media ehaviour when it was Hague that was being mocked and Blair lauded.
Funny that, double standards from that lot.

Since BLAIR and all his D-REAM & 'Cool Britannia' bollocks. Inviting the Gallaghers around for dinner, pretending to like football, all whilst lying through his teeth about anything of any substance.
Evil fucking cunt.

For me it probably started with the way Michael Foot was always ridiculed in the press and by the Conservatives mainly because of how he looked.

When did our politics and election campaigns etc become so presidential in nature? Didn't it used to be about the message of the party that counted above the overall perceived [personality of the party leaders. Or has ir never really been like that?

UKIP 24

This could actually set up Ed Miliband nicely for the run in to the election. With the advent of TV debates, expectations for him will be so low that he will only have to land the mereist of punches to be considered to have over-performed.
A real poverty of political leadership in this country at the moment though.

Re: Ed Miliband Leadership Crisis

Unless there are Labour UKIP defections which seems unlikely to me then the Labour MPs won't seek to get rid of Milliband before the election. One reason is that actually most like him as a person, as an individual. He's a nice bloke. The issue many have is with his competence... but the lack of personal animosity towards him means there are fewer people eager to stitch him up. Also, many think that in terms of policies they agree with him but that under his 'leadership' the party has no... well no leadership.

Further to your comment yesterday, I actually think having a published pie chart showing where funding goes is a good idea.
The disgusting thing is that the government is deliberately using dodgy stats which imply that 25% of government funding is on feckless unemployed which is the clear reason for them undertaking this exercise in the first place. If the pie chart showed public sector pensions, benefits for pensioners, supplementary payments like tax credits for the working poor and then unemployment benefit.
That would actually be useful information. The way it's set out is clearly to just to further demonise anyone receiving support from the state and take the eye of the public off the Tories' own tax evading cunt mates.
