Cleverness is not enough

Article Abstract:

Leader of the Labour Party John Smith is an unusual politician, publicly self-confident, with a moral base to his views. The national change of mood from contentment to repayment of debt, and increased criminality and decay of public standards, needs careful management. John Smith should balance realistic and revolutionary policies. The Labour European economic policy was similar to that of the Conservatives. Mr Smith has the opportunity to create new Labour policies on all aspects of Europe.

Article Abstract:

It is well known that there are strong personality clashes among leading figures in the UK Labour party.

This reveals him as a loyalist and a serious politician who is working towards gaining more power. However, there may still be some observers who feel that he has a hidden agenda.
