I think we are all on the same page as far as the Covid ‘Balls-Up’ that we all find ourselves in, which is a direct result of current government actions/inactions under Boris’s leadership.
Just goes to prove the point that Youth, Personal Life style, Charisma and Bombastic approach to countries issues and problems won’t necessarily bring success in leadership and government.
So far as policies are concerned, In my book, the Buck stops with the nucleus of the government (e.g. the Cabinet) to devise not only the Right Policies but also ensure there is enough competence in the system and follow-up decision making to see those policies through succesfully.
Staying within the Covid issue New Zealand is a shinning example of how a collective group of decision makers in power can device, and timely execute the right policies regardless of their own individual personal or political characteristics.
Regarding 'Left Verses Right' in politics, my view is that its good and healthy to have both positions against one another so ideally it will avoid extremism on either side and hopefully introduce the “Best of BOTH Worlds “ effect in government.
