Tony Blair has led one of the most corrupt and ineffectual British governments for a decade now; what else is to explain? We probably won't get a great leader next time around, but anyone else would probably be an improvement, as long as they aren't mentally ill. More than the average politician that is.
As for "this EU nonsense", I'm assuming Brady would rather see less European integration. Perhaps so would I, considering the direction that the EU is currently taking; as a concept it is admirable, and comparable as an idea to the United States of America. In practice it tends to be about bringing every country in Europe down to the economic level of the lowest common denominator, and that's not even the only drawback. Just one of the major ones.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
