Surely Ed Milliband is the standout politician of our age? Standing out as in “dear god, could it possibly get any worse?”
Being serious I’d say that, love him or hate him, Alex Salmond is the standout politician of recent years. Cameron, Clegg, Milliband and the rest are all pretty much interchangeable IMHO.
But Salmond didn’t have to deal with any “real world” issues and even yet I haven’t seen much said about stuff like IS, Ebola etc. SNP have been so bound up with the Indy issue and now the leadership and reshuffle issues that there is still no response to world issues.
The colour and designers of Nics dress seems to be the current diversion from getting on with government or hiding bad news ie another round of civil service cuts via voluntary leavers scheme recently announced but not yet hit the news/press afik!!
