While on the subject of parallels, I read this article which contained a passage which seemed eerily familiar:
quote:Under Bush's actual management system, decision-making is concentrated in the White House political office, with Cabinet secretaries and the heads of agencies functioning as figureheads and mouthpieces.
Now, maybe I've let The Thick of It skew my vision of what it's actually like in Downing Street in the Era of Spin, but that sounds just like Blair.
