• Much has been said  about Tony Blair, the Prime Minister's, presidential characteristics.
• He is refered to as "The President of England."
• People say that Mr Blair spends too little time in Parliament, ignores the Cabinet in making desisions which by effect exploits political patronage in his plans to have four-fifths of the House of Lords appointed.
• The people who want change want to make his job much more practical by focusing it on delivering changes to schools and hospitals rather than writing uneccisary memos to ministers.
• To break 100 years of tradition by appointing a non-mandarin to the job would be symbolic by itself but, it would also cause huge controversy among the people.
• The Cabinet Secretary writes the agenda and takes notes at Cabinet meetings, but what makes so powerful is that they can make or break a minister's career with a word in the Prime Minister's ear.
• At a time of international crisis, voters want a leader to be strong and decisive; characteristics that fit a president.
• Why do good leaders have negative characteristics along with positve ones?
• Why are the good leaders letting their negative actions shade their positive ones?
