Whenever I am tempted to disagree with what the PM has decided I take a deep breath and reflect on two things. First, his truly stunning qualifications for high office (let's not forget that he was a drama teacher) and then this sterling accomplishments as an MP before being elected leader (was he not opposition critic on amateur sport?).

With that perspective, any reservations disappear and I realize that our country is in the best of hands and that the PM must have made the right decision, after all.

And to think that there are mean spirited persons who maintain that we would never have heard of the PM if his last name was Smith!
