Boris: Why the all the love?
Discussion
It can't just be me that is bemused that seemingly intelligent, rational adults are seduced by the cartoon act that this bloke puts out on a daily basis.
Having watched him during some of his tougher interviews and the grillings he's got during London Assembly meetings I grudgingly admire the guy as he completely evades answering any questions and just goes off on a tangent
It's pretty clear (to me at least) that Boris is every bit the evasive, cynical, manipulative careerist that CMD and many other top politicians are. Yet he seems to be able to get away with most of it just by ruffling his hair and being a walking cliche of what a bumbling posh bloke is supposed to be like.
How does he get away with it?

A few reasons. Top ones are he has two shots available to him in his locker that the vast majority of MPs genuinely do not have; a self referential way of accepting and joining in on the joke on himself, and he is also genuinely amusing. Most MPs are so scared/stupid to have a personality.Having watched him during some of his tougher interviews and the grillings he's got during London Assembly meetings I grudgingly admire the guy as he completely evades answering any questions and just goes off on a tangent

He's a bit like Trump in that regard.
