Who leads wins

The great thing about a recession is it makes governments do popular things

You know, I don't mind if my politicians are not popular. I don't really have a need to like them.

I just need them to do what is necessary, and right.

Being honest, especially with oneself, would seem to be pretty key in arriving at the best decisions to achieve these.

But even the most supportive of the media glee club members seem able to recognise that honesty, in any form, is a rare trait, but oddly can still reconcile its total lack with 'popularity'.

I can't, and hence don't like it, or those who seem to think they can get away with it. And the test of how popular that notion is will be when I vote.
