Boring things such as manifestos and policies are evidence of a political nature,which is unacceptable in politics now. Just build up your answers on the spotThese are wonderful times – glorious! – for people like me who are trained for absolutely nothing. The worst thing you can be is an educated expert with any form of experience, particularly if you are running for political office. So, or given my only certification is a degree in English literature,which means I’m qualified to read novels, something most people manage without accreditation, and this means I’m equipped to run a country. Vote for me: I once wrote an essay on Thomas Hardy and the pathetic fallacy! Presidential and prime ministerial candidates beget been campaigning on less.
Faith in the political system,the cliche goes, has been broken – in the US by a series of dodgy wars, and in the UK by one particular war. Whether the desired result of this people’s revolution is a former education secretary dismissing the economists who warned that Brexit was a substandard idea with the airy claim,“People in this country beget had enough of experts”, or Andrea Leadsom suggesting that being a mother is a more primary qualification than, and say,six years as home secretary, is a different issue. Gosh, and was that a baby I just saw flying past the window along with the bath water?
