There is something quite sweet about seeing someone with that proper nineteenth-century public school optimistic attitude that you could literally go anywhere and have a bloody good crack at anything.
He seems to have a genuine optimism and upbeat attitude which is quite refreshing. But his voting record shows he has that cold, dead-eyed careerist streak in him.
I was speaking to someone who's met him a fair few times and knows people who know him well and his summation was basically - "He's too intelligent. He has an incredibly ability to successfully wing it in pretty much any situation - and has essentially done just that."
Which is an interesting perspective to take... and doesn't bode well for having a fulltime job as PM.
