He should be so lucky.
I think that things have moved on a bit since Churchill spoke to voters.

It does not do to let those who you want to vote for you, believe that you think they fell out of the stupid tree(and hit every branch on the way down).
If (as a politician) you do think that, then you keep it to yourself........why would you alienate those whose vote will keep you in a very fine lifestyle?

A lot of the political disenchantment does not hinge on the fact that people do not understand politics(in the broadest sense), but that those who are in politics, see themselves above the voters.
Well, that and the fact that voting seems to change very little as the parties all seem much of a muchness.
