Who is the greatest prime minister UK never had?

[Koolpc]

Kermit the frog

 

[Justin Passing]

Alan Johnson? Thick as a plank. Probably good at filling shelves in Tescos and as a postman.
He made an idiot of himself as Shadow Chancellor. Remembered for describing trade union officials as "fat, white, finger-jabbing blokes on rostrums shouting and screaming". A jerk for saying it, whether true or not.

Some would say John Smith - may be.

Gove wouldn't be the worst choice,. May be Sunak one day, though he may get attractive offers which take him away from his back bench position.
Someone like Stuart Rose (ex M & S) would be good.

Sunak was impressive for his grasp and facility with the numbers and ability to explain things, I thought. Not sure about his political astuteness though. And you need someone who can handle complicated things and give a full answer if it's needed. The danger is getting a Chris Whitty, who didn't notice when he'd lost his audience.

PPE degrees are appropriate, but so are engineers for an analytical mind.
Truss did PPE at Oxford, and is an ACMA, but says too many daft things, in a daft way. She needs lessons in presentation, gravitas, or something.
Interesting list here:

Green party?

 

[Vinty]

Arthur Daly

 

[Bod ...]

I'm conservative, therefore I am reliable.

I see an interview with the late Berni Grant that changed my opinion of him.
He said Enoch Powel wasn't a racist but a realist.

He went onto say how much of a royalist he was and loved the Queen.

None of our political class is suitable, none of them effectively opposed what what has happened in the last two years. The country is in a desperate situation caused by exactly the same people who want us to keep voting for them.

PPE? The last thing we need is somebody with a qualification in politics!

He's actually from Mars!

JohnD, Ellal, Notch, Nosey - take your pick, they are all more than qualified according to them. They have all the answers. If only they didn't spend so much time posting on here they could go into politics.

Thank you for the positive endorsement

you are of course completely correct on this.

Vladimir Putin - He would invade the EU and Brexit would have been easy.
Elon Musk - he could fund the country. We'd all have free electricity and free transport.

There's no frogs on Mars
