Quite possibly the most boring, aimless, pointless individual ever to be elected leader of any
British political party. His becoming leader of the Conservatives led to there being, for the first time in
history, no waxwork made of the official leader of the opposition. Apparently they agreed he was a total non-entity and couldn't be bothered to make a waxwork of him. I read somewhere a cardboard
cut-out of IDS was made. It probably had more charisma than he did.
