Boris
The point is: does Boris look prime ministerial?
This is the question Conservative party members will have to ask themselves if Boris makes the top two in a leadership ballot amongst Conservative MPs (who will ask themselves the same question).
Did Michael Foot or Neil Kinnock look prime ministerial? No, and Thatcher kept winning.
Did William Hague or Iain Duncan-Smith look prime ministerial? No, and Blair kept winning.
Quote: "This is interesting, for both of these politicians are now pinning their Heathrow hopes to their political mast. So the fate of Silver-Boris airport is not only attached the the political careers of these two politicians, it is also becomming more polarised."
Indeed they are, up to a point.
Cameron has dithered and now "bottled" it in very much the same way that Gordon Brown "bottled" a general election (which he would have won) in 2007, again after a summer of dithering.
Only one course of action will prevail, eventually, because there is no alternative.
