I think that Welsh badger watcher and druid Ron Davies should instigate a Welsh coup.

Would Mr Brown be thanked for recapturing Wales?

If Gordon Brown is the most unpopular PM since Chamberlain, maybe he needs a Falklands. How about Wales?

Well there's your own Michael Heseltine of course, Richard Branson, Bernie Ecclestone, John Madejski. That's just off the bat. All sold space but fit more into the entrepreneurial CEO mould than the slippery pole climbing types - perhaps for the reasons you outline.
