Favourite President?

[TX Bill]

Well, you did say "ideals" and I was referring to them in an historic sense where "conservatives" were against extension of the franchise at the start of the 20th century and the introduction of the Attlee/Bevan policies in the post-war period (which resulted, amongst other things, in the NHS and compulsory education until the age of 15).

/* enter BruceWayne right */

Fair enough.

Granted that the terms "liberal" and "conservative" have migrated over time to mean different things so I guess you've made very valid points.

Clement Attlee and Ernest Bevin then?

 

[TX Bill]

Ah beat me to it.

 

[TX Bill]

Sorry, Aneurin Bevan then. Minister of Health.

 

[atrottel]

Bevin was the Foreign Secretary (and on the conservative wing of the party). Bevan was the Welsh left-wing firebrand.

(So put Bevin in central midfield with Arteta, and Bevan and Anichebe on the wings. Problems solved.)

Bill Clinton for me, despite of (or perhaps because of) his human frailties. I had the good fortune to meet him on 2 occasions, and he is without doubt the most charismatic person I've ever seen.
