Watch to the end of this piece of video and contrast Seb Coe's primness with Boris Johnson's enthusiasm and lack of embarrassment.
I have struggled to understand Boris Johnson's appeal to 'ordinary voters' but I think that I am starting to understand. You can see most politicians weighing up what they say, making sure that they don't stray from policy or speak inconvenient or uncomfortable truths. Boris by contrast seems (and I do mean seems) to say what he wants and thus means. It's a great gift and one that may well propel him to become the next leader of the Conservative party, Prime Minister and maybe even President of the United States (he is eligible).
