Part of the American Dream, or at least used to be before you needed millions and millions of dollars to do it, is that anybody can become President.

After watching Foreign Secretary David Miliband’s unbelievably poor appearance on Question Time last night, I wonder if we’re not importing the idea into Britain. You read and listen to the political gossips touting Miliband as a future Labour leader and Prime Minister and you realise: Yes! It’s perfectly apparent that literally anybody could become Prime Minister.

I liked Question Time last night, had a bit more bite what with that Hitchens bloke and Shami Chakrabati on it. Especially as the latter, was getting very angry with David. You know, how even though they are opposition parties and all and they disagree sometimes it feels like they are just going through the motions. That their heart isn’t in it. I mean they disagree but at the end of the day, they’ve got a job for another couple of years and the pay (and expenses and pension) is pretty good. Even though some of the panelists aren’t MPs they play the game, except last night she didn’t, just a little. And it was AWESOME.
