Abstract
In politics, it is generally seen as a good thing to be considered a ‘strong leader’, with Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher often used as examples of the dovetailing of strength, electoral success, and policy achievement.

Democratic Audit asked Professor Brown to answer some questions about his argument, with part one of two appearing below.
