GG supported the Soviet Union and does not appear to regret it. He has supported Sadam one way or another. That says everything about his judgement and his understanding of or his commitment to democracy.

Most people wanted New Labour, better services, no more tax increases, low unemployment and a bunch of politicians that do not embarras us. We are getting some of this wrong. If we get it wrong enough, as we did with Sunny Jim Callaghan people will through us out as the have every right and responsibility to do.

This is something the people of the old Soviet block or Iraq could not do. GG is a hobby politician but democracy is big enough to unaffected by his games.
