Its hard to see how it might work given the need for leadership in the commons and experience. Maybe some politicians are just too safe in their seats.<BR/><BR/>But anyway agree with your sentiments - almost exactly - on my blog.Man in a Shedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00990902055642035293noreply@blogger.com
