And here, I think, the modernisers have failed to make the necessary transition from opposition to office. All that informality – the lack of ties, the claim to be interested in football, the ostentatious mucking around with the kids – can work well when you are the challenger, the new person bringing change from outside. But when you are actually in power, it starts to look arrogant. It says that you are not bound by the rules that govern lesser mortals. You and the gang can lounge around swigging beer out of cans, but obviously the same does not apply to your personal protection squad and secretaries, doormen and drivers. You are asserting privilege, when you should be dressing your best because you represent your country. You are acting as if you own the place. You don’t.
