Article Abstract:
Everybody should have the right to enjoy a private life, even if they work in politics, according to former Prime Minister Edward Heath. He believes that successful political leaders need stamina, good luck and patience. He feels that current Conservative party leader William Hague should seek to develop clear policies, but should also ensure that he remains his natural self. He was interested in politics from an early age, and always had a strong desire to get things done.

Hello Ken, welcome back to County Hall
Article Abstract:
Politics is a game, according to Ken Livingston, MP and former leader of the Greater London Council (GLC). He attracted considerable controversy during his time at the GLC, but has over recent years made a deliberate attempt to create a more positive image. He is now keen to become the new mayor of London, England, and has developed a range of radical policies. These include a job creation scheme and free entry to museums and art galleries.
