Let's be blunt

In a classic episode of the increasingly prescient Yes, Prime Minister, Jim Hacker warns against the dangers of the journalist's microphone - that it's always "alive". It slipped Gordon Brown's memory yesterday, to his cost.

Sadly, both opposition parties have superficial leaders who clearly are concealing their true motives, and the only approachably decent one among them has now shot himself in the foot. How do people want their politicians: honest, or tactless?
