Dave loves Boris

David Cameron gives an exclusive interview to London's Evening Standard today - which already seems to be all over every other newspaper's websites.

In it, he sounds like the ghost of the last democratically elected Prime Minister, Tony Blair - remember him and remember democracy? Yes, it does feel like a very long time ago. Why's he sound like Blair? Well, there's a fair bit of the interview dedicated to God bothering.

But that kind of worship is not what interested us most about the interview. It's David Cameron's apparent worship of Boris Johnson that we found worthwhile.

Cameron says of Boris: "Would I rather have some faceless bureaucrat running London who could not pull a crowd at the Tory conference? Or would I rather have a swashbuckling, charismatic, irresistible character who will, yes, occasionally put his size ten feet in it? In the end, I would rather have the latter."

Which is very interesting.

Ask the British electorate something similar...

Would you rather have some faceless EU bureaucrat running Britain who is about as exciting as a bag of Brussel Sprouts? Or would you rather have a swashbuckling, charismatic, irresistible British character who will, yes, occasionally put his size ten feet in it - but who would be proud to run his own country?

In the end, I would rather have the latter. How about you, fellow patriot and voter?

Not that this worries Cameron - according to what he says, anyway.

Cameron says of talk that Boris could be a popular choice for PM: "Great! Good! ...People who say 'what's next for Boris, I say the sky's the limit".

So, a nice safe seat for Boris and the keys to Downing Street it is, then.

We'd vote for him.

In the meantime Dave, EU turn if EU want to...
