But no doubt those Oxbridge graduates could quote you magnificent poetry verses appropriate to almost any situation.
From afar, it certainly appears that there is a large element of the wishy-washy within the UK parliament - and the whole Brexit mess has highlighted that even more.
Probably explains why strong leaders such as Churchill or Thatcher (regardless of what you may think of their politics) have stood out so much over time including having movies made about them - the majority of the parliamentarians have just been consistently ordinary, shallow and ineffective.
If nothing else, the frankly pathetic handling of Brexit by the UK parliament makes our lot here in Oz look at least partially competent and even Trump seems to appear a little more capable in comparison.
I'd hate to be running a business in the UK right now, how could you plan for anything?
