Politicians can be divided into two camps; weather cocks and signposts.
The weak and dangerous politicians are the weather cocks; they twist in the wind of public opinion, following whatever the latest focus group says.
They provide no leadership or inspiration.
Signposts, on the otherhand, clearly point the way; even when the weather is bad and even though the traveller may not wish to follow their guidance.
I know which I prefer.
