We can agree to differ on those two, Kinnock would have been like a red Ted Heath if he got elected. Blair I have nothing good to say about.
Sadly seemingly decent people the world over once they get elected turn into what they would have once held in disgrace. That old saying is so true
absolute power tends to corrupts absolutely.
Neville Chamberlain can also be thrown into the mix as his appeasement policies allowed Hitler's ambition free rein, we'll never know what would have happened if Europe had stood firm againt Hitler, maybe WW II may still have happened but all the warning signs were there and they were shamefully ignored. A more intelligent leader would have cottoned on to Adolf's plans way befiore 1938 by which time it was far too late. We should have been a lot better prepared.
