We need a compromised, malleable, flexible, likable, not intellectually committed Prime Minister who has no firm opinions, no bright ideas, no strength of purpose to change anything. He can be manipulated and professionally guided, and leave the business of government in the hands of the experts.
And HIS name is Jim Hacker.
“While one does not seek the office, one has pledged oneself to the service of one’s country and if one’s colleagues persuaded one that there was the best way one could serve, one might reluctantly have to accept the responsibility, whatever one’s own private wishes might be. ”
——Sir Humphrey Appleby
