What you are failing to understand, SirChenjin, is that the whole concept of 'leader' has been rewritten. A leader is now a person who puts together a team of subordinates who will do all the work while he provides the necessary boost to morale by being a good fun cheeky chappy bounding with enthusiasm and optimism and having an 'interesting' personal life which everyone can gossip about and ooh and ahh over.
It helps if he's a bit posh because his willingness to look like a big t*t from time to time proves that he's so normal and like 'one of us', likes a bit of a laugh.
It really doesn't matter if he's not sufficiently interested in, or worried about, a potential emergency situation which has been forecast for years, and which may wipe out a significant portion of the population of the country he's leading, to actually attend any meetings about planning for dealing with it. Hell, no, he's got Ministers to that for him.
COBR meetings? They're for the little people...
Besides which, he's rather preoccupied with sorting out his divorce and his pregnant girlfriend, so as to provide his following with another 'ooh, aah' moment.
