Both had significant backing from the political establishment they represented and both had marketable personality, fame, or aspects that drew people to like them for whatever reason.

What’s going to make things go tits up is no accountability. You can’t have massive corruption and not eventually end up beached on the rocks. You have to have a rudder of law and order or you are in trouble.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
