Farage takes The Initiative. Hmm.
So: seeing himself increasingly caught up in a thorny thicket of unwanted and very awkward controversy, Nigel Farage has Taken The Initiative. Well, an initiative.
Long-time readers will know that I place great store on proactive, creative initiative-taking. It’s not as common a trait as you’d expect or hope, and that includes most of our “leaders”, the vast majority of whom are governed strictly by whatever rulebook and conventions they were brought up with. It’s a pretty poor show when Peter Mandelson is the prime example of a relentlessness initiative-taker – always aware of the very many levers that are within grasp, and using them imaginatively. Elon Musk is another.
In its rarity and political importance, initiative-taking shares aspects in common with the ability to strategise. Again, you’ll know my views on this and the example I often cite, George “Boy Genius” Osborne. Clearly, the man is a natural strategiser – of the inveterate student-politics kind; and we could add Dominic Cummings and Morgan McSweeney to the short list of UK political thinkers – but that’s not enough. What’s needed, of course, is good strategy, and Osborne wasn’t great at that (never ideal in a Chancellor of the Exchequer). Any old strategy taken from some well-thumbed playbook isn’t always enough; and military history is replete with fatally bad strategisers.
And so it is with initiative: Farage needed a good one, and it’s not at all clear this is it. What do we reckon?
