Gordon Brown

So stolid, so dependable, he even drinks water instead of whisky during his Budget speeches.

But beneath this somewhat dour exterior lies a fiery Scottish heart....er, maybe. Although his well-publicised disagreements with Tony Blair have done much to damage the credibilty of the Labour party.

Nevertheless, he is one of the Cabinet Ministers that I most respect. He seems to have done a pretty good job in managing the economy, as long as he doesn't give too much away.
