  Howard - they were a bit too clever to be mere presidents or prime ministers.
  
  Andy - first of all I disagree in that there is the world of difference between Labour and Conservative economic policy. I do, however, agree that too close an adherance to theory can be a problem as the real world does not always conform. This is where the Conservatives have an advantage in economics despite the accusations made against Mrs T in her time. Even she, despite what some claimed, was not dogmatic about sticking to monetarism and that, I believe was what allowed Lawson to shadow the DMark leading to the problems at the end of her premiership/EMU and the subsequent ejection. If she was a bit more dogfmatic maybe that little problem would not have occurred !!!
