400

– Don't you sometimes wish there was less news?
– I suppose there has been rather a lot recently. They say a week is a long time in politics. The last three weeks seem like a lifetime, and have certainly been turbulent. Perhaps things will calm down now.
– There seems to be a new Prime Minister.
– Yes. These things happen. Prime Ministers come and go. Usually there's a bit more warning.
– It's all been so sudden. With surprise resignations and half-hearted leadership contests and stabbings in the back.
– There's never a dull moment in politics.
– I had always thought politics was nothing but dull moments.
– Maybe. But every now and again momentous events occur which throw all our lives into turmoil.
– Is this one of them?
– Probably.
