I have this odd suspicion that you don't get to the top of anything, whether it's government, business, sport, whatever, without being somewhat smart at what you do, and a bit ruthless and straight talking.
I think it's very unfortunate that it was decided to publish this gaffe. I expect it could have easily been any of the others. Maybe if it had been, they wouldn't have published.
Remember you are voting for a party and it's policies, not the leader, who just happens to be it's leading light at the moment.
