DougR,

What's the problem with Mcgrath not liking any of his country's prime ministers? Your comment of interesting seems vaguely sinister. In a democracy you have a choice you don't have to like your current leader or any other potential leader. You get the result you get. In the UK you vote for a local representative but have no say in who becomes the eventual "national representative" for lack of a better word. In the US you vote for a president - in the UK it doesn't work like that. At the moment we have Blair acting as president come Marie Antoinette many people are not happy. that's how it is. We don't have to love them - they are there and we can criticise and change our votes. The current war is meant to be all about freedom of choice and not being ruled by a self selecting few.
