Bush wouldn't last one second in the house of commons because lets face it, he couldn't improvise a speach or rebutt something on the fly even if his life depended on it! Iv'e seen Bush answer questions without the help of any of his cabinet memeber to tell what to say and let me tell you it is hilarious! He couldn't talk his way out of a paper bag! The thing is, Bush can't adequately say anything if it isn't a prepared speach, and even when it is, its not very impressive.
Neither can Blair, though - he's had either Mandelson or Campbell write his lines for him since he became Labour leader (trust me, have you ever seen him in public when a non-contrived person asks him a pointed question?), and he always has either Straw or Brown to take the flak for whatever goes wrong - and believe me, he doesn't tolerate failure in his party, let alone dischord within the ranks (Cook, Short, Galloway), nice man that he is.
