A. A. Milne who created all the creatures of Hundred Acre Wood, seems to have been a prescient political commentator.
In The House at Pooh Corner written in 1928, we read the following exchange.
"I've got a sort of idea", said Pooh at last, "but I don't suppose it's a very good one".
"I don't suppose it is either", said Eeyore.
Now all you have to do is replace Pooh with Cameron and Eeyore with the British electorate, and you'll see what I mean.
The poor man is desperately caught between saying what he thinks he needs to to get elected, and needing to say what he must to keep the rabid-right in his own party happy.
Actually, I've got it he's Edward Scissorhands good-looking misunderstood boy who has to "cut, cut, cut" despite himself.
