The qualities I think a Prime Minister needs are, integrity; compassion; sincerity; a sense of fairness; and good judgement - alas it appear none of these are a requisite for the job these days.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Prime Ministers do not always owe their status to being the best persons for their jobs on the basis of ability.

The current incumbent is a good example of being breathtakingly bad. Face value is rarely sufficient.

Put him out to grass.

I don't know about qualifications to be a Prime Minister. However I know Terry Wogan had more banking qualifications than Gordon Brown when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Ignore me. It's the heat attacking my bald head!
