No, but fewer raised eyebrows if he was FM and not Boris. He is more suited to FM, but having stabbed Boris in the back, utterly untrusted at home or abroad. |

Indeed. As I said above, one day we will learn the truth behind his surprising decision but until then not to be trusted.

I think Boris is in with a good chance of being a success. He was thought by many to be a 'joke' candidate for Mayor of London, but in the event he did quite a good job. He can also speak several languages.
Perhaps his finest hour to date was the speech he made at the end of the 2012 Olympics: maybe there are historic things to come.
But it's always going to be a gamble as to whether a politician succeeds or fails in a job - for the simple reason that they don't get any training. Most of us have either qualifications or years of experience before we get into senior positions, yet politicians are moved from one ministry to another at elections and reshufffles. No wonder so many of them make a pigs' breakfast of their jobs.
