Contributing sentiments towards policy:
72% : Indifference, skilfully translated into policy and action, was an essential driver of his 14-year presidency.61% : Michael Gove told the inquiry last week that Johnson liked to listen to contending arguments about courses of action before coming to a decision.
59% : He combines indifference to principles and disregard for others with disorganisation of mind and behaviour, and indecisiveness and laziness in action.
57% : He famously wobbled about which side to take on Brexit.
56% : Seeing him in action once again, and with more to come on Thursday, it is the reckless incompetence and manifest unsuitability that stand out most.
43% : If that is his blessing, his curse is that, unlike Mitterrand, he could not then turn it into effective government action.
43% : Keith led Johnson through the crucial days in mid-March, when the argument inside government moved more decisively towards lockdown - a moment at which, according to Matt Hancock last week, 30,000 otherwise lost lives could have been saved by an earlier imposition.
