Beyond Cameron and Corbyn: what makes a good leader? Dean Burnett

Brexit has resulted in a PM set to resign and an opposition leader under threat. Within a few months, the leaders of the UK will look completely different. But, psychologically speaking, what makes a good leader? And why?

Less than a week on from the EU referendum and still the disastrous consequences rain down upon us like angry red-hot turds from God's own backside. It has, if you'll forgive the record-breaking understatement, put the UK in a bit of a pickle.

One consequence is that the prime minister has promised to resign. Never ones to look at a burning building without wanting to douse their own floorboards with kerosene and take up fire eating, Labour are currently undergoing a revolt against Jeremy Corbyn. It's not all meltdowns; Nicola Sturgeon seems to be doing Scotland proud. Also, Tim Farron has promised the Lib Dems will campaign on a pro-EU ticket in the (possibly imminent) general election. Nice, but in 2016 it's like having the Microsoft paperclip pop up and offer to help you; appreciated, but the initial reaction is "I'd forgotten you existed".
