If that had been done with Churchill, you lot would have put your

if that was done with more than just prime ministers.

Churchill was in power for 5 years before we, wisely, threw him out. He
didn't have time to go gaga - he did that later when we, unwisely,
elected him in 1951. This was the first time he was elected PM. It is
what happens to politicians after a certain time in power that I object
to, not the politicians themselves.
For example, unlike TNP, I thought Tony Blair was a breath of fresh air
until he stayed too long.

And I bet he would have shot back if you had tried it with just prime
ministers too.

Maggy in spades.

Another PM who stayed far too long.
