Keep seeing confrontations between politicians and the general public on the news. PMs-to-be with their sleeves rolled up, their collars open and low profile security as they walk among the hoi polloi shaking hands and drumming up support, and attracting flying eggs like, well, flies.
I know politicians want to be seen as down to earth these days, but I'm all for them maintaining a decent distance from Joseph Public. I don't recall any of the politicians from the seventies getting down and dirty with the proletariat. Politicians should be up on soap boxes at the very least, though preferably waving from bullet proof cars or preaching from the pulpit. They're not one of us. That's why they want to be Prime Minister. They should be more aloof, taking stock of what needs doing from afar, and then doing something about it. Not kissing babies or patting dogs.
