2. The worship of 'strong leaders' is one of the more dangerous aspects of politics

Especially when combined with nostalgia and the desire to Make (insert country) Great Again.

As a friend once put it: 'You can have a strong horse, and it can still pull you off the edge of a cliff.'

That some rather elderly Conservative party members hold such views is not terribly surprising. What shocks me more is that the MP would call his constituency office 'Margaret Thatcher House' and adorn it with photographs of his late heroine. Surely a constituency office should be for use by all constituents, not just those who voted for the MP's party. It's not identical with party headquarters!
