My point was not about the legitimacy of Cummings having influence. All governments of whatever persuasion have advisors. Even Mrs T was glad to have a Willie.My point Al is you using Mandelson as a reference in this case with Cummings, My point is one was elected so had a right to be influential and the other isn't.
My reference to The Prince of Darkness was nothing more than that those in power or influence, elected or otherwise, have a habit of returning having previously been given the heave ho.
