No deep analysis on this one, I’m afraid, but then again, none really needed. Caught out in the expenses scandal (he flipped his second home, and is thought to owe around £55,000 to the common purse), his inability to get his expenses right raise concerns over his ability to run the finances of a country. But many many MPs (from all the parties) did this, and it is rather his inexperience, and his completely innaccurate analysis of the recssion and how to deal with it, that make him such a poor choice for chancellor.
