Paul Keating of Australia, Paul Martin of Canada, Gordon Brown or any Japanese PM of the past couple of years. The only way to become leader with the respect of the people is to lead your party to an election. Anyway, oh, look... on the BBC front page there's another kangaroo attack!

He's perhaps wise to be out of politics, afterall his party and its leader were so roundly dumped by the people of Australia that Costello has at least reserved the option to reenter politics once the nuclear fallout has fallen. In the meantime the Liberal Party leadership rests with a journeyman in Brendon what's his name??? Thu 11 Sep 2008 11:38:22 GMT+1
