That line may be easy to mock, I know, but many countries would envy their combination of prosperity and social justice. See also good Scandinavian and Dutch politicians passim.

Maybe loved is too strong. I do think, however, that politicians like Blair and Clinton, on my side of the street, and Maggie and George W, on the other side, inspire adulation in supporters. You could expand that list -- even you! Others win trust and, yes, admiration from voters. I think Merkel may be moving into this category. Aznar had a touch of it in Spain. It may be that I'm describing a group of thoroughly competent, technocratic leaders who offer little inspiration but do manage to achieve something constructive. And I think the times are favorable for that approach. Your comment perhaps explains why I’m not a political pundit. Maybe loved is too strong.

That long, long list. Which I'm sure I have lying around here somewhere... um... can you help me out? I seem to have misplaced it...
