In case you've forgotten, VInce Cable PhD (Econ) is the best Chancellor of the Exchequer the UK never will have had, kept out of that seat by not because he wasn't the best for it, but because his party is the junior party in the coalition and in a democracy it isn't who's best to do the job that gets it, its who can shout the loudest.
