“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.”

“There is something wrong with the way in which we make our decisions. The Government listen too much to the pollsters and the party managers. The trouble is that they are not even very good at politics, and they are entering too much into policy decisions. As a result, there is too much short-termism, too much reacting to events, and not enough shaping of events. We give the impression of being in office but not in power.”
Far too many important decisions are made for 36 hours' publicity. <br class="br">Hansard, HC 6Ser vol 226 cols 284-5 (9 June 1993) http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199293/cmhansrd/1993-06-09/Debate-1.html. <br class="br">In his resignation speech to the House of Commons.
