Britain needs a new era of serious leaders

The writer, a former Conservative cabinet minister, is on the Advisory Board of The Britain Project

Boris Johnson is a terrible prime minister and a worse human being. But he is not a monster newly sprung from a rent between this world and the next. Twenty years have passed since the Conservative party first selected him as a candidate. Michael Howard and David Cameron made him a shadow minister, and Theresa May gave him the Foreign Office. Thirty years of celebrity made him famous for his mendacity, indifference to detail, poor administration, and inveterate betrayal of every personal commitment. Yet, knowing this, the majority of Conservative MPs, and party members, still voted for him to be prime minister. He is not, therefore, an aberration, but a product of a system that will continue to produce terrible politicians long after he is gone.

A new keymap is created if `to-map' is nil.  `keys' should be a
list of the keys whose bindings are to be copied.  Each entry may
also be of the form (from-key . to-key) if the keys differ in the

Jim asked: "If 60% chance of picking winner of a game, and 32 games
played, what are odds of picking 12 of 16 correctly?"  (I'm going to
ignore the "32 games played" and assume you meant 16 played, since I
don't understand the 12 of 16 of 32 statement as it stands.  I.e., how
do you pick the 16 out of the 32?)

Assumption: every game is independent of the other and the only
