Gross failure may end in Gulf oil war - Johnson unsuited to premiership

In a midsummer week that may culminate when — if — the sinister buffoon Boris Johnson becomes the 14th British prime minister of Queen Elizabeth’s near seven-decade reign, it is not hard to argue that politics have failed.
Even if Elizabeth was to consider the near 200 individuals who have been installed as prime ministers in former colonies where the British monarch remains, in name at least, head of state, it is unlikely that she could recall an individual less suited to leading a modern democracy.
