My Take
Norman Lamont interests me as a study in taking responsibility during a storm. Rising from the Shetland Islands to Chancellor of the Exchequer is no small journey, and he held that office through the turbulent early 1990s when sterling itself was in crisis. People remember the rough patches, but steering a national economy through that period took real nerve. His later Eurosceptic conviction will divide opinion, yet I respect a politician who plants a flag and stands by it. I tend to value the willingness to own hard decisions over polished charisma, and Lamont offers plenty of the former.
