Who is a statesman?

No UK political party has a true statesman.

"A statesman or stateswoman or statesperson is usually a politician or other notable public figure who has had a long and respected career in politics or government at the national and international level. As a term of respect, it is usually left to supporters or commentators to use the term. When politicians retire, they are often referred to as elder statesmen."

We have a bunch of Mamby Pamby's who stick to the rule of the Party Leader.

what happened to people like - Norman Tebbit, Douglas Hurd, Harold Wilson, James Callaghan, Denis Healey, David Owen, Enoch Powell, Merlyn Rees, Yor Jenkins, Anthony Wedgewood Benn, Gerald Kaufman et al?

We have Kenneth Clark advising Cameron, but I suspect on a tight rein.

I think that Conservatives should have had Michael Portillo as it's party leader beacuse of his experience.

This new age stuff just isn't working.

Thats, why I would like to establish a new party.
Even George Galloway makes sense on his talk show ( not all the time) but I suspect he is misunderstood like
