Disraeli springs to mind. But you only prove my point. Our "ruling elite" has always (with the possible exception of Atlees government) been drawn from the same ruling class of inter-bred chinless wonders that have spawned the likes of Cameron.

Intellectualism has never been a pre-requisite for the American presidency, whether Democrat or Republican, as far as I can see. I think you've got to go back as far as Roosevelt.
