Election Year or Fear!

[Andy_Faber]

Define ‘successful politician’.
What has he actually achieved? He has failed, on numerous occasions, to get himself elected. He played a prominent role, along with Johnson and others, in getting ‘Brexit done’. Is that an achievement? Clearly not in my eyes and not in the eyes of an increasing number of the UK population one could very reasonably argue.

If feathering his own nest and generally acting in an entirely self serving way is your definition of a ‘successful politician’ then you’re clearly right.
Mine is…instigating and seeing through change that improves society…in that respect NF is the epitome of divisive and damaging failure imo.
It’s easy to come up with ideas for change if you then have absolutely no responsibility for seeing through the consequences of such change.

I think you’re letting personal enmity get in the way of objectivity.

I don’t think so. Objectively…his only achievement has been to create probably the single most divisive event in British political history since the days of the Miners’ strikes or the speeches of Enoch Powell and he has failed completely and repeatedly to win election to any position of authority…but, I’ve got a match to go to so…COYR.
