Michael Foot, Tony Benn.... their powers of leadership kept the Labour Party away from power for a generation. Even when the tories were almost begging for another party to step in and clear up their mess, the public would not entertain the idea of people like this at the centre of power.

If that's what politics is about for you ...pissing about and posturing, then I have made a mistake .... GG is indeed your man. You will be well suited and happy together. I wish you joy of it.
