Kathy Brock Cabinet Quotations

Any prime minister has a limited number of major policy initiatives he can pursue at any given time, three to five would be the maximum. So the government really has to have a clear sense of its priorities and the cabinet ministers need to have a clear idea of what they'll push within their departments.

You are going to be scrutinized very closely on that score and you need people who aren't going to stumble, especially in the current climate we've got where there's cynicism. People are watching, people are much more attentive to government and cabinet ministers.
