As the Labour Party prepares for its annual conference Vernon Bogdanor asks what the ingredients are for good leadership.
It is easy for government to be successful. Mussolini, so it is said, made the trains run on time, although he appears to have been less good at making war. But any government that can control society and the means of communication has a good chance of proving successful, in the short term at least. The more interesting question is what makes for successful government in a democracy, a form of polity in which the political leaders depend on public support.
Bob Worcester, founder of MORI, Britain's leading polling organisation, is fond of saying that in a democracy public opinion is king.
This is even more so in the era of referendums and focus groups. Still, no country, not even Switzerland, governs entirely through the instruments of direct democracy. Governments
