Re: Quiz: Can you name these leading politicians?
13 - I obviously should get out more.
Perhaps we can start a competition for the most suitable collective noun for a group of our politicians.
Starting very politely - "a disappointment"
going down - "a spin"
"an unreliability"
"an incompetence"
"a mendacity"
"a mindlessness"
"a catastrophe"
Any more?

6 - Oh dear.
I've gone with a "consequence of politicians."

That's a subtle one - "an embarrassment" may be more to the point.

Like an embarrassment of riches?

Re: Quiz: Can you name these leading politicians?
Yes - but while the riches would have to be excessive to be embarrassing, any number of politicians from one upwards can generate considerable embarrassment...

I don't know, this week's UKIP leader might qualify on both counts.
