My Take
William Hague fascinates me less for the politics than for the sheer range of the man. Rising from Rotherham through Magdalen College, Oxford, to lead the Conservative Party while still young is impressive on its own, but it's the refusal to stay in a single lane that I find compelling. He is also a serious historian and biographer, a judoka, and a recipient of Japan's Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun. Most people chase mastery in one field; Hague seems driven to genuinely pursue several at once. That restless, omnivorous curiosity is rare in public life, and I can't help admiring it.
