  Most go into politics for the right reasons Colin and most keep their integrity as well.
  
  Bern - you have never seen anything as bad or personal as this from the Conservatives, not even in John Major's last months. At least Cameron and Osborne are good friends and do not hate each other the way Blair and Brown always have.
  
  An interesting comparision between Brown and Thatcher made by Ian Dale on his blog:
  
  """And here lies the difference between Gordon Brown and Margaret Thatcher. Brown revels in bullying subordinates and junior staff who can't hit back. You cannot imagine him treating the likes of David Blunkett or John Reid in that manner.
  
  Margaret Thatcher, on the other hand, would revel in shouting matches with her most senior ministers - people who were her equal. But you'll never find any of her staff to say a bad word about the way she treated them. She was kind, respectful, considerate and appreciative of their efforts.
  
  And that's why Margaret Thatcher is a great leader of people, whereas Gordon Brown doesn't understand the meaning of the word. He's a bully, not a leader."""""
