Would your private life stand the test of a public airing if you stood for office? Has the idea of 'skeletons in the closet' altered?
George Clooney has declared his debauched personal history would prevent him from ever entering conventional politics.
In an interview with Newsweek he said: "I didn't live my life in the right way for politics, you know ? I fucked too many chicks and did too many drugs and that's the truth." Making it clear he would not be following in the footsteps of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan, Clooney added if he were to stand for election his campaign slogan would be frank: "I drank the bong water."
Assuming you've never stood for office yourself, what is it that's held you back? Would youthful indiscretions make it impossible for you to project the right image? Do you think that our political system is slowly adjusting to a new reality in which old notions of 'skeletons in the closet' are less relevant? Our own PM has, after all admitted to smoking cannabis at Eton, although flatly denies he attended this acid house rave in 1988.
