He shouldn’t be relatable. And he certainly...

But, provided he gets through that, his legacy as a transformational leader is secure. Nor should anyone assume he's finished on the political stage. Minutes after his resignation speech, bets were being laid in Dublin that the next president of the European Union will be known as Bertie...
